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

Soak nibs in vodka, freeze, scrap fat off. Pour liquid and nibs into secondary. I am adding 1 vanilla bean to this mixture to bring out chocolate flavor. I am debating cutting LME by 3-6lbs. I want this more of a easy to drink enjoyable chocolatey beer. No too much bitterness or alcohol twang.
