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





A crisp, clean lager base meets the bold brightness of Amarillo and Simcoe hops. Bursting with grapefruit, tangerine, and a hint of pine, it balances modern hop character with a smooth malt backbone of Pilsner and Maris Otter. Cold-fermented for a refreshing finish, this one’s a must for IPA fans looking to raise a stein.
