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
  1. Collect and heat 2.5L of water
  2. Steep the grains (2-row barley + wheat) in a bag for 1 hour @ 150F / sparge with hot water
  3. Bring to boil and add 3.3 lbs Briess Munich Malt syrup; add 1lb of DME light @ 45 minutes - boil for 60 minutes
  4. Add the hops: 1 oz Hallertau @ 60min; 0.5oz of Hallertau @ 10min; 0.5 Willamette @ 0min.
  5. When the 60-minute boil is finished, cool the wort to approximately 100° F as rapidly as possible. Use a wort chiller
  6. While the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment - fermenter, lid or stopper, fermentation lock, funnel, etc – along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
  7. Fill primary fermenter with 2 gallons of cold water, then pour in the cooled wort. Leave any thick sludge in the bottom of the kettle.
  8. Add more cold water as needed to bring the volume to 5 gallons.
  9. Aerate the wort with O2 for 30 seconds
  10. Measure SG of the wort with a hydrometer and record.
  11. Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78°F or lower (not warm to the touch). Work earlier to prepare an yeast starter (2 days before)
  12. Insert an airlock into rubber stopper or lid, and seal the fermenter.
  13. Move the fermenter to a warm, dark, quiet spot until
    fermentation begins.
  14. Fermentation time: 1–2 weeks primary, 2–4 weeks secondary
  15. When kegging add 3oz of Blueberry flavor
  16. Force carbonate with C)2 following the recommendations
