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

Used Rye LME from Northern Brewer.

Am liking the Pacific Gem hops a lot-but they are aggressive and would not add any more than 2 oz. (Cedar/herbal/dark berry, and uncomplicated/clean bittering)

Should have used a blow off tube - the Kolsh yeast was very vigorous the first 2 days in primary.

Will be trying a chemical fining 3 days before bottling
