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

Primary fermentation - 10 days, /secondary 7 days
First tasting prior to co2, strong after taste from hops
Tasting after carbonation -much more mellow/ balanced.
It needs more body.
