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

Ferment at 58° for 12-15 days then raise to 68° to finish. Drop to 40° for lager. Rack to keg or bottle.

Depending on taste at final gravity, may dry hop. Fast ferment taste was pretty hoppy, moderate bitter. 1.030 at 11 days.


Best beer I've made. Back off bittering hops a touch. Maybe add a bit of citra, columbus, cascade, or amarillo for depth at 0min.
