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

Toasted 8oz of sweetened coconut and added to boil at 6mins.
Made a tincture of 2 vanilla beans in jameson.

2/20/17 - Never got around to adding the lactose.
Could use more time with the coconut and added a little more vanilla.
Cocoa Nibs were perfect. Was more of a chocolate porter than coconut vanilla.
