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

Fermentation started at 23C. After 5 days, the temp was raised by 0.5C per day up to 25.
Cold crashed after 12 days for +/- 24 hours around 3C, bottled, and rested at 22C for a week, then stored at room temp.
