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

Everything in this recipe is really cut and dry..besides all of the Cocoa and Cacao Chocolate baking bars..With ten minutes to go I took about .5 gallons out of the wort and placed it in a small pot. I added the Hershey's and Ghirardelli chocolate to the wort. After it was all melted I slowly poured it back into the wort.
