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

Start fermentation at 63. Check in 3 - 5 days. If the krausen has dropped and you feel like your past the peak fermentation, raise it up to 70 for a couple more days to get it done. Rack to secondary, have chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon in the secondary and rack ontop of it to ensure to "Stir it in". Keep it here for 2 - 3 weeks.

Add to barrel wait for ever - ENJOY.
