WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

OG was 25.9 brix, 1.106 SG.

Very active fermentation started within 12 hours.

Mulling spices were hand mixed: pepper, anise, allspice, nutmeg, orange peel, ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks. Everything was freshly ground except the ginger.

FG was only 1.050. Stuck fermentation suspected due to loss of a lot of Krausen and high concentration of not-easily-fermentable sugars.

No carbonation after 3 weeks of bottle conditioning.
