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

Mash flaked grains and pale malt in 155F water for 45 minutes. Top off to boil volume.

For fermentation chill wort to 63F and ferment for 7 days, allowing temperature to free rise to 73F and ferment to conclusion.
