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

The cascade and citra hops are added to the APA in hopes of imparting a tropical phenolic fruit character to the beer. My favorite pale ales have a grapefruit or orange peel (Bell's Two Hearted and Oberon) flavor to them which I am going to try and artificially recreate using hops.
