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 grains for 15 minutes at 162F. Add cherry puree on Day 6. Transfer to secondary on day 10 adding the cacao nibs and vanilla beans. Soak vanilla beans in bourbon 2 days prior to adding to secondary.
