Notes

~1.6x scaling factor for dark grains to maintain ~50 SRM, accounting Total of 3.17lbs of dark grains needed from original estimate of 2lbs. Rounded up chocolate malt to 0.5lb.

Finely crush all dark grains and add to 6 1/3 quarts cold water (2 quarts per pound)

Steep for 24 hours.

Strain in steeping bag and collect steeped water. Do not squeeze. No sparge. Collected approximately 1.3 gallons

Add to last 10 minutes of boil.

OG numbers are inflated in calculations above. Dark grains were not mashed and thus unfermentable sugars inflating OG were not extracted. OG 1.060 targeted. Changing to "Late Addition" throws off calculations in the program as well.

Yielded 6.4 gallons. Use 0.4 gallons less sparge water in future.
