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

No starter - trying reduced pitch for flavor

60 sec O2 at yeast pitch

Bottled makeup water to 6 gal

Added flaked barley for head retention

** After 6 refinements I think this hits the mark as a Hefe similar to what I had in Germany ****

YUM!!!
