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

1 lb of honey added to the boil at the 30 minute point and 1 lb honey added at 10 minute.

Made a 2000 ml yeast starter, but did not let it ferment long enough before cold crashing to clarify. I ended up adding the entire 2000ml to the wort instead of decanting the clarified starter.

O.G. 1.070
F.G. 1.012
ABV 7.73%

The beer has a clean crisp taste with a nice bitter taste with no sweetness whatsoever.
