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

Use only Primary fermenter. Minimum of 4 weeks. Recipe was designed for kegging but should work good bottled, use corn sugar primer. Use pure Oxy to airate for 20 sec.
