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

Ferment at 65F for 2 weeks, the transfer to secondary fermenter and condition cool (50-55F) for 3-4 weeks. Add Gelatin 3 days prior to bottling (optional if needed to clarify), bottle with DME and condition at 55-60F for 3 weeks. Enjoy!
