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 actually finished at 9.04% for me because of the additional sugars from the pie filling, brown sugar, molasses, and juice. It's a great seasonal beer for the fall. Please follow standard partial mash/extract brewing procedure. Bottle condition for 4 weeks for best flavor.
