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

My brew of this started a little high at 1.046 and finished a little high at 1.018. It tasted good, had nice chocolate notes - I got 21 longnecks out of this brew. There was not much smoke flavor.

You can brew this beer with one 4 gallon pot - absolutely simple.
I use SAMS Club bottled water and Alkaline (pH 8.8) water - I did a 50-50 split of it in this recipe.

Heat a pan of water to 140 degrees and then turn the heat off. Put your LME in the hot water to make it easier to pour. While that warms. Crush the grains, put them in a muslin bag. Bring 2.5 gallons of water to 156 and steep the grains for 30 minutes. I keep mine over 150.4 degrees, and then stir in the LME. Bring it to a boil.
Start your 60 minute timer and drop the El Dorado. Boil wort, dropping the Tettnang and Whirlfloc after boiling for 50 minutes.
Check the postboil gravity - should be around 1.056. I also usually add a teaspoon of yeast nutrient that last 10 minutes.
Chill it to 70, transfer to fermenter and pitch the yeast.

I fermented mine for 11 days, then bottled it, using carbonation drops for the priming. Delicious.
