Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.07 -0.3  
Post boil volume 5.5 22  
Going into fermentor 5.5 22  
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

Bucket fermentation in a cooler. Held to 49º for roughly 14 days. Brought up to 65º for 3 days to begin diacetyl. Kegged and refrigerated to 40º Lager for 2-3 weeks
