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

Two weeks ago I bottled what is probably the best beer I've ever made in my single year of brewing. I call it an "Imperial Juniper Ale," which is essentially an imperial IPA with lots of juniper, a flavor I'm really keen on. I thought I'd share the recipe with reddit and welcome any feedback on the recipe, though this first batch turned out spectacular. I don't know much about hop varieties; I chose these by selecting "pine" aroma hops from the aroma wheel, and they seem to work well together and with the juniper: https://www.hopunion.com/aroma-wheel/
