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

followed copper ale/wedding beer recipe instructions, adding fuggles to the 15min addition. cooled by adding cool tap water and ice in addition to immersion cooler.

prelim OG 1.054
FG 1.015
ABV 5.12%

ALMOST a yuengling ale clone, would bump IBU just a tad for a house beer, maybe add more caramel/crystal for an alt.
