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

Based on Alton Brown's Good Eats recipe. Only change: Substituted Amber LME for the Light LME that original called for.


Made for a very hoppy beer.
