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

The goal is to brew a hoppy APA using traditional European hops that work well with the Belgian yeast strain with out over powering the malt characteristics.

Steeping drop down indicator did not have CaraVienna or CaraMunich so I substituted CaraRed and CaraBohemian respectfully because the Lovibond degree matched closely.
