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

Our Holiday Beer, inspired by Tröegs Mad Elf

Steep chocolate malt in 1 gal of water in a separate pot for 30-45 min at 152 degrees F while heating boil water. Strain and sparge with another 1 L of 160 degree water and add to boil water

Late additions at 15 min
I put the whole cherries in the boil. After the wort is cooled I strain the cherries out using a colander while transferring from the kettle to primary.

Need about 450B yeast cells.

2 weeks primary
4-6 weeks secondary (I age 10 weeks in a whiskey barrel)
Carbonate to 2.2 volumes
