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

Vienna and Munich malts add a nice depth and complexity with notes of light toasted malt, toffee and caramel. The flavor is malt forward with a toasted aspect, and just enough hop character to balance.
