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

Started with recipe from morebeer.com
Then added the Carapils and a little more Choc and Crystal to make it more porter-like.
Added some malto to add body.
Not doing the late addition so the beer will be darker in color.
