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

Set boil size to 3 gal. Steep grain in 2 gallons for 45 minutes. Rinse with 1 gallon. Use 1 lb wheat LME for 3 gal boil in addition to steeping grains. Reduce initial hop to 20g, second hop 8g to achieve 15 IBU. Add remaining wheat LME and honey after boil.
