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

Used store bought pressed apple cider with no preservatives. These were honeycrips from the PNW. Toasted spices lightly for two minutes then added 1 gal. apple cider, brought to a boil and let the spices steep off heat while I prepared the equipment.
