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

My first recipe, tried to emulate a few that I've seen online and add a little twist. Going for a beer that has a session beer appeal, with a little bite. The .2 oz 30 minute Centennial and 15 minute Columbus additions will add the bitter, while the 5 minute Citra addition, and the second Citra addition at flame out providing a citrus like forefront.
