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

Clarifier at 20 minutes

Use a late addition liquid malt extract (15 minutes left in the boil) to get a lighter color.

Centennial and Cascade hops give this ale a nice floral aroma and taste. IBU of ~36 is not too overpowering either. Has a relatively high alcohol content (matches the beer style in all other ways). Steep specialty grains for 30 minutes using steeping bag. Note also...late addition of the LME will result in slightly lower bitterness than the calculator figures. This is our "house" beer, typical of Pacific Northwest.

****
Note: This is a small batch extract brew. Use the scaling tool to increase to 5 gallons if desired.
