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

3/25/23 - Added specialty grains and flaked corn to cold water and steeped at 156 degrees for 40 minutes.

Added about 4 lbs of extract and boil hops.

Added the rest of the extract with 20 minutes left and added corn sugar, whirfloc, and Saaz hops with 10 minutes left.

Cooled with wort chiller to 90 degrees and added water, pitched yeast at 66 degrees. OG 1.074

3/31/23 - Transferred to secondary fermenter and added four vanilla beans steeped in 1 oz of vodka.

4/9/23 - added 6oz natural peach extract and 1oz natural vanilla
extract and bottled. SG 1.020, ABV 7.09%

Tasting Notes: great peach aroma and flavor nicely balanced with malt, pretty much right on with what we were looking for.
