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 the 3 crushed grains in 3 gallons of water at 150º for 30 minutes. Remove grains from wort, add 1 cup malt syrup bring to a boil. Add Sorachi (bittering) hops, Irish moss and boil for 60 minutes. Add the Hallertaur aroma hops and Lemon peel for the last 10 minutes of the boil. Add the remaining fermentables at the end of boil, let sanitize for 10 min.

When done with sanitization period, add wort to 2 gallons cool water in a sanitary fermenter, and top off with cool water to 5.5 gallons. Cool the wort to 72 - 75º , aerate the beer and pitch your yeast. Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68º-70º, and hold at these cooler temperatures until the yeast has fermented completely. Bottle your beer, age for 2-3 weeks and Enjoy!
