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

Winters in the islands. Tropical breezes, palm trees, sand in your bathing suit. Nothing that a cool, refreshing adult beverage can't handle. So relax and chill, mon.

2 yeast packs, one as starter, stir or shake regularly to reach desired yeast count.
