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

1 gal fermented with Us Safeale 05
1 gal fermented with Wyeast Irish ale yeast

On bottling:
American ale tasted great. Nice malty/hoppy balance that you want in an american brown ale.
Irish ale had a sweet forward taste and a little clash with the hop bitterness. Overall not bad though.
