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

Had trouble starting the fermentation. Added a second yeast. Then for two weeks it continued fermenting. FG was not what I wanted. Ended up being just under 8%.
