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

Start with 14.5 cups blackberries puree and strain to leave seeds behind.

Recipe only calls for Tettnang, but the Alpha % was lower on the bag I got and wasn't getting to the recipe's desired 12 IBU's so I decided to add a little leftover German Northern Brewer to bring them up a tad.

Ferment at 65-68 degrees.

Rack to keg or secondary and age for 4 months. (Test small sample monthly to see how sourness progresses. Longer aging will increase the sour flavors.)
