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

Steep malts and oats for 45 min @ 155 degrees in 3 gallons of water. Remove grains from wort, sparge with .5 gallon of hot water and bring to boil.

(Feed spent grains to chickens or find another use)

Cool to around 75 degrees and place into fermenter.

Pitch yeast and allow to ferment for 7 days.

Add 2 pounds of blackberry puree Let ferment/flavor for an additional 7 days. Rack to another carboy to separate the berry solids.
