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

Steep grains in 2.5 gallons of 150-165 degree water for 20 minutes. remove and drain, but do not squeeze grains after steeping.

Bring to a boil. Add all LME and BME to the boil, continuously stirring while adding to prevent scorching, and add 1 oz Columbus hops.

Boil for 30 minutes, then add Wiliamette hops.

Boil for 25 minutes, add the Coffee Spice pack.

Boil for 5 more minutes, then terminate the boil.

Add to the fermenter after the temperature drops to 75 degrees and pitch yeast.
