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

I made up this recipe because I had 3 cans of Mr. Beer American Classic Light to use up. I boosted it into a Light Porter to make it drinkable. Waste not want not.
