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

Steeped grains in 2 gallons of water 150-160 for 30 minutes. Sparged with 1 gallon of water 170.

Bottled 28 days after brewing when fruit started mellowing out.
