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

Make a porter,, add Ginger Snap spices at 10 minutes left of boil. (Actually the spice mix is 1/4 of the regular ginger snap spice ingredients list when making the cookie. Spice list is: 1/8 TSP salt, ginger, white pepper, dry mustard; 1/4 TSP ginger; 1/16 TSP clove. BE PRECISE.) Molasses goes in at 5 minutes. Chill, pitch yeast. Ferment three weeks, bottle and age for a few months. (Can drink in two weeks but ages very nicely.)
