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

Actual OG: 1.038 @ 69*F
SG on day 7: 1.011
Primary 2 weeks, bottle condition 3 weeks
Very easy to make and very good session beer. Malty with a balanced bitterness. May add aromatic malt next time and use cascade for hopping.
