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

-Stepped 400g of crushed 2-row in 6L at 67C for 30 min.

-Boil wort for 60min in 13L

-Yeast was rehydrated for 60 min

-initiated fermentation initiated at 17C

-17 days in, SG= 1.012 and surprised at the elevated bitterness... like West coast ale.

Bottled at 21 days ....8L with 64g dextrose (2.3 Vol. of CO2) + keg.

Final OG=1.011

Alcohol By Volume: 4.99%

Apparent Attenuation: 77%

Calories: 228.0 per 500ml bottle

Keg pressure
30psi for 20h
then 12psi = too flat

give another 20 psi for 24h
