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

Steep at 150 degrees for 90 minutes.
Boil for 60. Pitched at 65 degrees.
On Brewing day, made tincture of spices with all spices covered with everclear to add on kegging day to taste.

Kegged and added 300ml of spice mixture. Required a little more vanilla and used 100ml of vanilla extract to perfect flavor.
