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

4 small chunks of nutmeg
add all spices to about 10 oz. of vodka and let steep for about 2 weeks - shake often to extract flavor

Steep (150 - 170 F), may need more water (cover grain)
Fly sparge, if desired
Wort into brew kettle
Add DME/LME
Add water to desired level
