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

Bring 3 gallons of water to roughly 166° F
Once the water comes to temp pull 1 gallon aside for sparging
Steep 1lb of Honey malt in the remaining 2 gallons for 1 hour
Sparge the honey malt with the sparge water
Bring the wort to boil
Follow hop schedule
While wort is boiling put honey and 2 gallons of spring water into fermenter and stir thoroughly
Once boil finishes pour wort into fermenter and top to 5 gallons with spring water
Pitch yeast and if using Kveik hold at 95-100°F until final gravity is reached.
Transfer to secondary and add sparkolloid and allow to clear for 1-4 weeks. Bottle or keg and enjoy
