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

Add 5.5 gal water

Add the mash hops and steeping grains at 154°F for 30 minutes. Raise the temperature to 170°F for 15 minutes.

Add DME and boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.

Add dextrose and whirfloc at 10 min

Chill to 66–68°F, aerate well, and pitch the yeast.

Ferment at 68°F for 2–3 weeks, then cold crash, add the dry hops, and after 7 days package, and carbonate
