Going into fermentor 16 64  
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

I used a combo of 4lbs chocolate/black/caramel/?beechwood steeping grains but that was too much I/t.
