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 oz dried lime peel reused in hop bag for boil and primary. Not enough flavor.

Add 4 limes, zest, cut and squeezed in secondary.

8oz oak chips soaked in 200mL tequila for 1 week added to secondary.

Tasted at bottling too much lime. Hopefully it will mellow a bit. Suggest 1 lime zested and squeezed.
