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

I added the steeping grains to a bag and let the water come up to 155 F at which I flamed out for 20 min and let the grains steep.

On the side I brought 1 gallon to 155 F and after the bag drained of almost all liquid I placed the grain bag in the separate pot and flamed out at 155 F. This steeped for 10 minutes.

Also, I used hot water to get all the LME from the containers, as I wanted all the ferment-able sugars I could get.

This resulted in me over shooting my planned OG of 1.060 to 1.068.

I make a starter, but not sure if it will be enough for 1.075, but I shook the hell out of the fermenter.
