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

Used what ingredients I could get - not an exact copy of the recipe but pretty close.

Dry hop in primary for ~5 days with Cascade hops - they sink to the bottom after releasing flavor.

This is one of my favorite beers, and since I can't buy it locally (outside of Seattle), I decided to brew it.
