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

Caramel note from steeped grains quite prominent and seems to mask the standard "extract" flavour.
Darker than I expected, but a good colour.
Slightly bitter finish - I've grown to like it, but could consider reducing the IBUs a bit next time.
Not hugely hoppy - maybe try adding even later (~1 min) or dry hopping.
Quite moreish. Yum.

Made a yeast starter (in error) a week or so before the brew, but kept in fridge & pitched cold. Fermentation was turbocharged.

Oh yeah, and the starting gravity was a little too low (too much water?), so perhaps foolishly I threw 200g of DME in after the boil. It all came out ok!

Fermented at about 20C perched up on some bricks over the edge of a tiled heated floor.
