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

Unable to find Morgans Premium Lager yeast in the list so have listed White Labs American Lager Yeast

Ferment for 2 weeks at 12°C

Dry hop at day 11 or when the beer has a couple points left before reaching FG

After 14 days or when beer has reached FG, bring temp up to 16°C for Diacetyl rest (2 - 3 days)

Cold crash to serving temp (3°C) for 2 - 3 days and then transfer to a keg to carbonate at 10psi for 2 weeks or until preferred carbonation is reached and enjoy

Alternatively, transfer to a glass carboy and "Lager" for a minimum of 6 weeks at 3°C

*Update to recipe after finishing my first batch - first batch was tasty and it has been a while since I've had a Boags but it was surely a close clone! After sitting in the keg for a couple weeks though the citrus notes dissipated so I've significantly increased the hop bill in this recipe and added a dry hop to try and account for that. I'm hoping this doesn't over do it. Will report back in a few weeks when my next batch is ready to drink. The dry hop is probably Optional when trying to clone this recipe and I'll leave that to each of you to make the decision to include or exclude it based on your own flavor palette. I've just been messing around with a NEIPA so I could be a little biased towards the stronger Hop profile, I apologize if that ruins this clone.
