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 packets of S33 a good idea.
Should be fermented at 78-80 degrees for most complex flavors, then allowed to sit on yeast cake in primary for a few weeks for the yeast to clean up. As fermentation winds down, agitate the carboy 3 times a day for 3 days to achieve lowest possible gravity. Let sit in primary for 3-4 weeks total, then keg/bottle and let it condition for 4-8 weeks.
