Going into fermentor 3 12  
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

Pre-conditioning sample - Classic golden blonde color, nice banana notes, soft rich flavor. Good final product, need to try again using liquid yeast. Concerned that the dry yeast imparts a slight tart/sourness.
