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

Decoction needed if no melanoidin
ferulic acid Rest
Protein rest
no fining agents
no cold crash

Use cones instead of pellets

Light tangerine if not competing
classic hef no citrus

decoction>melanoidin in competition

36 hour pitch at 68 degrees
then 72 degrees for 36 hours
