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

Expected Og was 1.073

1.067 with extracts and add 22 oz steeping grains at 26/lb/gal at 3 gal is .8 pnds extract. Gave OG at 1.074. This is listed as 3rd extract but was actually the steeping grains,

FG was 1.022.

Malty flavor, with low bitterness and slight alcohol taste. Would like less malty flavor and more sweetness to it. 6/6/17 keg day.
