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

This is based off a clone recipe for Mac and Jack's African Amber from Seattle. Adjusted to use extract I had on hand, as well as first attempt at partial mash. Low efficiency was from Brew Store's inefficient crush. My later attempts with different crush hit about 65%
