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

You know, like pie
Chop apples fine. Start with 2 TBS cinnamon, 1/2tp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1/2 tsp allspice & 1/2 C sugar. Macerate overnight before adding to secondary

This batch turned out really, really good. Would definitely brew again.
