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

Add the crushed crystal and black malt to 4.25 gallons of water and let steep at 150-160 F for 45 min, remove grains with a strainer. Add the malt extract and boiling hops. Boil for 60 min. Add honey, whirlfloc, ginger, cinnamon, mulling spices and orange peels and boil for 10 more min. Add finishing hops in the final 2 min of the boil. Chill wort, then pitch yeast when cool. Bottle when fermentation is complete.
