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

Brewed June 22, 2012.

OG: ???
FG: 1.019

Lactose (Milk Sugar) and Belgian Candi Syrup added with 15 minutes left in boil.

note - during primary fermentation the foam blew back through the airlock. Let it go a few days then changed out airlock with a fresh one.

Transferred to secondary / clearing carboy July 15,2012.



note - When transferring to secondary clearing I noticed when I pull the airlock that the plug was full of mold. Took care to try not to contaminate batch when pulling the lock to do the secondary transfer.

Bottled July 2, 2012.
