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

Grains are limited to 8lbs for a 4g boil pot.

Steep grains: 3 gallons of 174F water(will cool quickly), stir-in all grains, remove heat and wrap with insulation for an hour or more (stir every 20mins). Iodine test for conversion. Pour warm grains into the fermentor through a BIAB bag which is over a colander to strain the grains out. Sparge with 1g of 170F water, bouncing the bag. Squeeze lightly (or bitter), let it drain. Return that wort to the boiler (clean the fermentor & sterilize). Bring that wort to a boil as usual.

sugar goes into the boil in last 10min to keep the color light.

Last 2 gallons are sterilized ICE in the fermentor (protein brake)
