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

This is a modified version the popular Sunny Citrus IPA recipe found here (https://beerrecipes.org/Recipe/1126/sunny-citrus-ipa.html)

I would not classify this brew as an IPA but rather an American Pale Ale.

I am not fussy with my sparge and built the recipe using a low efficiency, you may want to adjust for your brew style if you stumble upon this and feel like giving it a go.
