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

After sparge the BIAB with a pour over 32oz warm water. This makes total boil slightly more than 2 gallons. It should work out to 1 gallon with the 90 min boil.

During boil pull 2 cups wort and separately boil down into syrup. Then add this back in to the boiling wort.

The style suggests longer boil times to get more malty flavors. So I am starting with 2 gallons and a 90 minute boil, targeting 1 gallon. this also allows for the syrup above.

Aging is suggested 2-6 months though this recipe starting gravities are so high. 1.5 months in and it was tasting good.
