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

Use 3.0 lbs DME for the boil so the gravity is in the right range. Add the remaining DME after the boil is complete and top up to 5.5 gallons in the fermenter.

At 65F, it took 3 weeks for the gigantic krausen to fall. Use a blowoff tube!!!

Beer was delicious. You'll run out quick.
