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

Steep grains in 3 qt tap H2O. at 160/150 (actually ran temp up to 170 on accident according to thermometer, though this candy thermo appears to register 10F high).

Boil size app 2.25 gallons, ought to be 2.4 per recipe (need bigger kettle), added DME near boiling point. Accidentally tossed in some of the flavoring hops at 60 minutes, not off to the best start.

Added flavoring hops and Irish moss and extract at 15 minutes.

Aroma hops as the pot was put into iced sink. Pitched the malt "tea" directly into the primary, did not add to boil as suggested in recipe - would probably have overflowed.

Pitched yeast at about 78F, put in Anny's room.

OG 1.044

Removed from Anny's room following day, put next to wall heater, maintained about 70F, rotating bucket. Kept in primary 4 days, racked to secondary, moved to tool room, app 65F.

Dry hopped in a cheesecloth dangling from the airlock, for two days, removed sack.

Bottled on April 24. Wort is amazing. Unfortunately, only 4.5 gallons, or 26 bottles.
