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

Very small amount of chocolate to get the color right.

Efficiency adjusted to reflect actual OG.

Light refreshing beer.
No chocolate or other strong flavors.
