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

Mix honey 1:1 with water, heat to 185° F for 20 mins. Cool and add to fermenter after primary fermentation is complete.

Note that because the honey is a late addition, the OG reading will be below the calculated value above, probably closer to 1.055.
