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 house staple, brewed 6 times, propagating yeast from the "library" in the fridge and reconstituting with a starter each batch. Good balance dry/sweet with moderate mouthfeel, and a hint of sour in memory of Guiness.
