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

Starting gravity of 1.05, probably didn't even need a starter but started with a massive 2L starter. I hope this beer isn't too over-fermented as the yeast will be very active at these temperatures.

Lesson learned to lager is to first hose down to cool off, then plug in the brewjacket to let it maintain a given temperature.

Mash Ph is getting closer. In this case we thought we'd have mash Ph of 5.50; measured at 5.53.

Ph of sparge was 5.7.
