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

Hammer this guy with three packets of yeast. Its super light and high gravity. We want no off flavors at all.

subsitute chinook for citra

Modified recipe. It produced great beer, but I'm adjusting my system from 6.5 lb of grain to 8 lb, and the efficiency needed to be raised from 60% to 72%. I also want to tone down the alcohol a bit, because I want to drink too much of this beer and I'm just getting drunk.

Was OG 1.066, FG 1.011 (7.24%), IBU 76.26, SRM 6.78

The C20 was 12%, I should keep this. I think just below 7% would be good. It needs a strong backbone to carry the hops. 2 packets of yeast should be fine. I'm also trying to trim costs.

I noticed I was a little low on the bittering hops so I bumped up both from 1 oz to 1.2 oz. now IBU 91
