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

Make starter 2 days in advance of brew day, by dissolving 8oz DME (3oz 10L, 3.5oz 4L, 1.5oz 2L) in 2000mL boiling water, then chilling to <80F and pitching 2 packs WYEAST 1272 into 2 mason jars; aerate and cover loosely with tin foil, stirring with sanitized utensil periodically

Mash grains used Water adjustment for 60 mins.

After draining grain bag and sparge/rinse, add boiling water to bring kettle to 4.5 gals, and begin 75 min boil.

After 15 min, add
1 lbs 14.5 oz DME
After 45 min, add
1.25 oz Chinook
After 60 min, add
3 lbs DME
3 oz fresh Glacier
1 tsp Irish Moss
After 65 mins, add
0.5 tsp yeast nutrient
After 75 mins (flameout), stop boil and chill to 70


Aerate wort and add up to 1 gal pre-boiled/chilled water to achieve OG (target 1.057 for 4.5 gals)

Pitch yeast sediment and aerate, ferment at 68F

After ~1 week (FG achieved), add dry hops for another 7 days
(consider racking over to 6.5gal fermenter to get off yeast, with drop hops at bottom)

bottle to 2.5 vols CO2 (using 3.6oz of corn sugar for 4.5 gals), boiled for 5 mins in 2 cups water
