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

The malt extract was dark Munich instead of light Munich. After a few days in primary, the fermentation became stuck at a gravity of 1.040. After another week, no change so I decided to add another lager yeast - San Francisco lager since that's what I had on hand. This brew is truly a bastard that's unsure of it's roots.
