WARNING: Kettle losses >2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle dead space, 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 is my staple house brew. Its a hybrid wheat beer that uses a ale yeast. Kind of a cross between a IPA and a wheat beer. Super fast turn around. Two weeks primary and two weeks bottle conditioning. Cost is under $30 per batch.
