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

OG actually come out at 1.070 after topping fermenter to 2.5 gallons, and FG ended at 1.010

Rehydrate irish moss in cool water 15 min before adding.

I used Lallemand Nottingham, fermented vigorously at 64 for 3 days, then it dropped like a brick. Raised temp to 71 for diacetyl rest for 2 days.

Prime, bottle condition for 2 weeks then cold crash.
