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

Adapted from Northern Brewer "Bourbon Barrel Extract". Important modifications include additional 1 lb of Dark DME and replacement Hops (NB & Fuggle). Looking for more traditional hop profile.

Plan to ferment @ 65 for 14 days and raise temperature to 67 to finish @ 28 days.

Filled fermenter to 3-gallon mark. Blew up airlock on day 1 with Krausen from vigorous fermentation.
