Boil water added to kettle (equipment estimates 25.3 L) 9.1

Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.5

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 beer has a very bitter long taste to it and not much else. It's delicious but could definitely do with dry hopping some Simcoe or Citra.
It would suit an IPA more rather than a ruby bitter.
