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 to convert the grains at 150 degrees for 45 minutes in 5 qts of water.

  • for every 2 lbs of grain, use 1 gallon of water. 12oz + 12oz + 6oz + 6oz (2.25 lbs) = 5 qts.

    Sparge with 1/2 gallon water (150 degrees)

    Add enough water to bring wort volume to 2.5 gallons

    Add late addition fermentables (Wheat DME and Candi Syrup) at 45 minutes into 60 minute boil time (ie, 15 minutes)
