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

Add 1 dried chipotle to the boil with 10 minutes left and allow to infuse; remove when boil is done. For additional peppers, add to 8oz bourbon and allow to infuse through primary fermentation. Once primary has completed, add syrup to secondary vessel and rack beer onto it. Sugar in syrup should trigger more fermentation; once that's completed, add dry hops and then use a small child's medicine syringe or other device to add 10mL at a time to taste. My brew used about 80mL, but could use more or less to taste; taste daily and realize that the spice flavor will mellow with time.
