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

The recipe is a modified version of "Raucous Red Ale" from The Brew-Master's Bible. It now includes partial mashing and a malt substitution to include leftover ingredients.

I decided to shy away from the traditional American ingredients (Crystal, Carapils, etc.) and use Belgian specialty malts to provide the caramel flavoring base. The Gold LME will be split between two additions to keep the color as light as possible. The Belgian Special B and Aromatic malts will provide the dark amber color. The balanced blend of malts and hops should create a robust final product.
