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

Actual SRM appears to be about 25-26, Compare with Kulshun Red Cap both in color and taste. Mine is less IBU than the Kulshan.

Actual Measurements:
BG : 1.086
OG: 1.052
FG: 1.011

Primary fermentation was quick, 3-4 days in 5 gallon plastic carboy. Transferred to secondary 5 gallon plastic carboy on day 8. Cleared by day 16. Used a 5 gallon carboy as bottling bucket, to which bottling sugar/water had been previously added.

Loss from transfer amounted to 10 pints. so actual bottling was 30 pint bottles.

Allowed 15 days conditioning at 66F. Very drinkable, nice head that dissipates in about a minute. I suggest using more hops to increase the IBU as it is very light.
