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

This recipe is an adaptation from the Mad Fermentationist blog, Michael Tonsmeire, and used here for my first lager style beer using a bock strain of yeast. Here I'm using Special B because I couldn't find Simpsons Extra Dark Crystal 155L.

I seek to do two things: brew a large bock/lager beer on my first go and explore the depths of BBA flavor using bourbon soaked oak cubes with an extended contact time with the beer. My estimate is likely 3 - 6 months to impart the flavor I'm seeking.
