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

Once I added the 8 lbs of fermentables at 10 mins, it never really fully boiled again; I'd probably add them at 20 next time.

The flameout hops got whirlpooled for 10 minutes before cooling down.

Lastly, pitched the packet of US-05 directly into the wort and aerated it, even though I've read not to. Next time I will use two packets. Even though it fully fermented, it never carbonated all that well because of a lack of yeast.

A good double IPA. My rating: 8 out of 10.

Note: USE A BLOWOFF TUBE! THIS THING IS AN ATOM BOMB. ;)
