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

I have the liquid extract can size set at 3.3lb's, because that's the only number I could find on the net. I guess it's correct.

This recipe does equal the actual abv according to the hydrometer reading.
OG: 1.154
(post wort [aka post yeast-pitch] day-#2 in carboy: 1.024)
FG: 1.014
Supposedly, that should equal 18.3% abv., but this recipe calculator suggests 3.9%. I'm not convinced it's 18%, but it's sure not 3.9% either! Perhaps it is stronger than I think, b/c I usually have a bit of a head-pounding afterward.


Is priming sugar not included in this form?
