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

OG was 1.060
FG is 1.015

After 5 days of bottle conditioning I stuck one in the fridge overnight. It already has plenty of carbonation with a nice thick 2 finger foamy head. Banana's and cloves are obvious on the nose and mouth. It still is pretty "green" tasting so I think another week of conditioning will help that.Very close to Hoegaarden in taste. This is my first liquid yeast try.

I'll definitely drop the extra 11 oz. of DME next time. I don't want the ABV that high.
