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

Using 10 oz Captain Morgan Spiced Rum to soak 4 oz Cocao Nibs in, instead of Vodka. Should give it a great taste.

Priming each bottle with Okinawa Black Sugar (kokutou).
