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 was created out of an accidental emergency. On brew day it was discovered that only half the DME needed was on hand and available. This resulted in the need to scramble for additional fermentables. Munich LME and priming sugar were the only items on hand so this is the result of what came together. Blueberry flavoring will be added in the bottling bucket. Initial taste at the completion of fermentation was surprisingly good.
