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

This beer will hopefully provide a nice wit base for my strawberry wit, kiwi wit, and other fruit adjunct beer testing. Originally scaled down to 2 gallons for test batches. Efficiency at 80% only for smaller batches for sparging. Frozen strawberries used for simplification in sanitation (already pasteurized), maybe wash in vodka for 30min before adding.
