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

Don't stir hops in hop spider next time..

OG 12/27/2022: 1.059

Gravity 1/6/22: 1.014 | ABV: 5.7% | Attenuation: 75%
You can really taste the clove as well as the biscuit malt. Phenylic flavors aren't nearly as high as I expected, with only a mild banana flavor in the background. Sweet up front and a malty finish. Not what I was expecting, but also very delicious.

Bottling day 1/8/22

FG: 1.014 | ABV 5.7% | Attenuation 75%

Ditto on the previous update. Only slight banana flavor -- more of an essence, with a well balance of spice and malt. Toffee and spicy-almost-woody notes. Very drinkable. Can't wait to see what carbing and a couple months of aging will do to this beer. This beer is already on par with the handful of hefeweizens I've had.
