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

The BRY-97 was too slow to start at 67-68 degrees F (3 days and nothing). So, I ended up pitching 4 packets of Safeale-05. Braggot finished at 1.013.
It finished darker than expected. But, delicious.
