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

Yeast pack is Best By Jul 19, 2023. Assume mfg'd on 1/19/2023, therefore, yeast is 54 days old, and 62% viable. Need a 1L starter (per calculator). Make yeast starter 2 days prior to brew day, by boiling 1000mL of water with 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient and 3.5oz DME for 15 mins. Chill to ferm temp and pitch yeast, aerate using stir plate.

Mash/steep grains in 2.5 gals spring water at 152F for 60 mins.
Rinse/sparge with 0.5 gal water at 170F.
Top off with 1 gal boiling water, and bring brew kettle to boil.

60 min boil

Add hops/extras per schedule

  • 1/2 of DME at 15 mins into boil, remaining 1/2 DME at 15 mins left
  • Add candi syrup with 15 mins left in boil

    Chill to 70F using wort chiller, and auto-siphon into 3 gal carboy, pitching yeast (carefully pour off wort on top), aerating, and insert blow-off tube. Ferment at 66F until FG is reached.

    Consider xfer 1 gal into 1 gal carboy with bourbon-soaked oak chips to age for NNN months, and bottle the rest
