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

I made this recipe. I had leftover wheat malt and Briess Chocolate Malt leftover from Brew and Grow that was vacuum sealed. I am going to use my homegrown hops. Regarding my hops and IBUs. According to Brewer's Friend, Tettnanger are 4.5% aa and Cascade are 7% aa. I adjusted it down to 6% aa for the Cascade. I decided to boil the cocoa nibs rather than adding during fermentation. Yeast was purchased for batch 94 and also used for batch 95 and 97. This was only farmed once for batch 94 and never harvested after brewing. My recipe with just the LME showed 3.6% ABV, so I added 3 pounds of wheat DME to increase it to 5.67%. I forgot to add the cocoa nibs at the beginning of the boil as the old recipe didn't have a time. Added them at 30 minutes.
