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

Weight of Apple Juice is Approximately 8.75 lb/ gal.
PPG of Apple Juice was adjusted to get to OG of ~45 where most AJ lives.

Ed's Apfelwein uses Corn Sugar, but I prefer the caramel-y additions of brown sugar.
