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.

This recipe features 2 extract additions: The first addition will be at the beginning of the boil, and the second will be at flame-out (the end of the boilwhen the heat source is turned off).

  1. Add 2.5 gallons of water to your 5-gallon brew kettle. This is known as your strike water.
  2. Pour the specialty grains to your large muslin bag, and gently place them into the strike water. This is now called the mash.
  3. Begin heating the mash to around 170ºF/76ºC. After you have
    reached your target temperature, turn off the heat and let the grains steep for another 10-15 minutes. Remove the bag, allowing it to drain any excess into the kettle, and then dispose.
