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 recipe medaled 2nd place at the 2018 Coconut Cup in Miami, under category 21A. Here's a link to the results of this competition https://reggiebeer.com/ReggieWeb.php?Web=1000314

***

  1. Put 1 gallon of water in your kettle.

  2. Put all 6 pounds of DME into the water. Stir frequently to reduce the chance of clumping.

  3. Proceed to steep the grains for 25 minutes at 152 degrees.

  4. I pour the last two gallons remaining over the grains into the kettle. I typically do room temp water, but you can heat your water up.

  5. Bring to a boil. Add 60m hop addition.

  6. Add half whirfloc tablet at 15m.

  7. Add 5m hop addition.

  8. Remove kettle from heat. Let it naturally cool to 180 degrees.

  9. Once the wort gets to 180, drop in the flame out hop additions for 25 minutes.

  10. Cool and top off with water to 5 gallons. Pitch yeast. Ferment at 66 degrees.
