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

Use marris otter LME

Boil 1 gallon of wort down to a quart then put it back in the boil kettle.

Fermented at 60* for 5 days and it was finished. Taste is amazing! Extremely complex for being so young! I will condition cold for 8 weeks then carb. Tastes of burnt caramel with a hint of smoke, and some dark fruit character. Huge malty backbone with a hint of hops for balance.

This extract version is just as good as the all grain version with a slightly nuttier and a bit less sweet flavor. Still an awesome wee heavy!
