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 cold 4L then mini-mash in 4L water at 65c for 60 mins then sparge with 1L at 76c. Use dash of PH leveller.

Add 2.8l of water to make 7L for boil - after 800ml absorption loss.

Yeast enzyme and whirlfloc added last 5 mins of boil.

Add dextrose, candi sugar and LME at end of boil. LME added to fermenter with around 1.8 boiling water.

Aerated wort with air stone for 15 minutes.

Made 2 step yeast starters for this brew. 1 litre to a 2.5 litre. Swirl regularly. pitched at 21c.

2 + 1 + 1 litre ice blocks. Chilled water in 2 containers for 8 litres to chill wort - remembering yeast starter will add around 300ml of volume. Still needed more ice to hit lower temp. Only hit 22c.

Used hop bag during boil.

Got 70% efficiency from grains but final OG was lower than calculated 1089 instead of 1091. PPG of extract was lower than expected.

Ferment around 17 degrees. In fermenter 20/9/15. Gravity at 1030 on 28th. 1020 on 3 October.

Bulk condition 2-3 weeks following completion of fermentation - stayed at 1020. Added reydrated pack of Abbaye Yeast on 16th October to try and get a little more attenuation.

Bottled 25/10.

Finished way too sweet - not enough attenuation. Needed much more sugar and probably remove the brown sugar and/or honey - other than that the recipe was great.
