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 brewed it when I saw the recipe on byo, it's ok.


I don't find it particularly special but a good ale to have for those days you are working in the yard and don't want to drink your prized beer. I usually add a lime for a little zest.
