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

Inspiration was SN's Beer Camp Belgian Black IPA from Fall of 2013. Target FG should be much lower...toward .012 - .013. I would ferment at the low end for 3 - 5 days, then raise the temp to let the yeast shine through over another 10 days...once FG has been reached, dry hop for 5 - 7 days before bottling.
