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

Northern Brewers Kit brewed on a fine 57deg winter day at The Evans Hacienda in Leonardtown, MD. Enjoyed some Spent Brewing Grain Pretzels that Charlie made with a his World Famous Sweet Jalapeño dipping sauce! Um Um Good! The warmth of the Chiminea against a woodsy background and the pleasant smells of malt and hops made for a perfect afternoon!
