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

Ended up darker than I'd like and a bit drier - ease up on the steeping grains next time. Only used one packet of sorta old WLP002 so I don't know how to tweak attenuation more than that.
