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 used two packets of the Wyeast for this brew to get the ABV I wanted. After 4 days in primary the beer was at 7% and climbing so it worked out, finished just below 9%. Delicious imperial porter, about as roasty as I can handle. Great Fall/Winter beer. Enjoy!
