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

Recipe modified from an all-grain recipe found on the Brewtoad website, published by nickgrein.

https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/spaten-oktoberfest-1

The motivation is to clone the Spaten Oktoberfest, one of my first favorite beers almost 20 yrs ago, in the incipient phase of my beer obsession.

This is my first lager.
