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

Added some Chinook to increase IBUs as I didn't have the right AA on the Hallertauer. Original recipes is for 5.0%. Used a little more DME to use up an even KG. Full volume boil.
