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

Steep milled malt along with amylase enzyme and 2 TSP gypsum in 2 - 4 gallons of water at 163.4 F for 30 - 45 minutes. Sparge malt with 170 F water until water runs clear. Top kettle up to 6.5 gallon pre-boil size. Bring to boil.

Pitch LME or syrup, allow to achieve hot break, and maintain rolling boil.

1 OZ Northern Brewer Hops @ 60 min
0.5 OZ Fuggle Hops @ 20 min
0.5 OZ Tettnager Hops @ 10 min
1 TSP Irish Moss @ 10 min

Cool wort to 170 F before adding cherries. Do not add cherries to temperature above 170 F or the natural fruit pectin will set. Stir wort for 2 minutes.

4 TSP Pectic Enzyme before pitching yeast
SafAle S-04 English Ale Yeast (recommended)

Rack to secondary after 7 days leaving behind any fruit and trub.
