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

Late addition refers to the fact that the hops, apart from the first wort addition, are boiled separately from the wort to improve extraction. Wort and hop tea are then combined after the hop boil
