Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 11.5 L) 8.9
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 11.5 L) 9.7
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -1.3
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 10.3 L) 7.6
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.1

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

Birch sap (eau de bouleau) was tapped from trees and used to brew this beer. The yeast used is not clean Champagne yeast but instead the reused lees from a honeywine brew which was fermented using the wild yeasts in the honey and added champagne yeast. The hops used were wild picked and stored in the freezer (-19C).
