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

Pitch yeast under 60 degrees.
Ferment at 47-52 for 7 days, or until fermentation slows. Siphon into secondary and add dry hops (see schedule).
When the final gravity has been reached (1.012-1.013), this beer can be lagered for 1 month. Begin lagering at 45 degrees and slowly decrease the temp. to 34 degrees over a two week period. Add Gelatin, and bring the beer to 60 degrees for 3 days before bottling to ensure that fermentation is complete. Allow the beer to carbonate at room temperature for 2 weeks.
