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

Took some notes from here: http://brulosophy.com/recipes/brulosophers-blonde-ale/

And from Culver brew store recipe

Picked Amarillo because I don't want to overpower the basil spiciness

2017/06/03 First Brew
1.048 OG
Also threw in another 0.1-0.2oz shredded basil during pitching.
