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

Use Diacetyl rest to achieve dry attenuation.

After full primary fermentation slows down, raise temperature to 60 degrees over the course of 2 days to help the yeast dry out the more complex sugars.

When cold crashing to lager temps after, cold crash at 3 degrees per day to avoid yeast from releasing waste products into beer.
