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

John Palmer suggests these first four specialty grain proportions as rough approximations for a stout in his book "Learn to Brew". Figured I'd give it a try.
For a full-bodied, sweeter beer, I have selected a yeast strain with moderate attenuation. [And it's cheap :)]
I usually go a bit low on the hops in my dark beers.
Late addition for 3/4 of the extract.
