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

Brew Day 12/3/23
No obvious mistakes on brewing.
OG 1.050
2 1-gal fermenters used. 1-gal for my 4th generation Safale05 and 1 gal for my 2nd generation British ale II Wyeast.

Going to set in 68f until the brewing starts and then will move to my 63f basement with a blanket for one week. back to 68f for another week. Transfer to secondary for one more week. Then bottle.

Used leftover wort (.25 gal) to re-start my yeast starters. Had extra water because I used extra to extract all the LME from the plastic containers.

Created this recipe to use up leftover materials from brewing the "sket english porter" on American Homebrewers Association website (membership required to view). Williamettes I had laying around. Mostly wanted to keep my yeast cultures healthy.

Will update as this moves along.

Update:
The beer fermented with American ale yeast tastes great. Flavor of the malts comes through nicely.

The beer fermented with British ale yeast is even better. Definitely fruitier. A softer mouth-feel.

Overall: would recommend this recipe!
