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

2 packs yeast, semi-clone of Sam Adams Double Agent IPL. I really liked that Sam when I tried it, so I put together a recipe that mirrors it pretty closely. The color may be a little lighter, but the IBU's and ABV are dead on as far as I can tell. 4 packets Nottingham, 44g. Or go with Wyeast Cali Lager smack pack and create 2L starter and then pitch.
