I plan on brewing the Self Righteous clone. This is what I have to make a 6.36 gal batch. I put in the notes what this beer should be around. So I was wondering what you all thought, also should i leave the hops times at 15min, or change them and why. Do I need 2 packs of yeast for this since its above 1.060 og. Any help would be appreciated

I might wait a little longer for fermenting. Big, dark beers do well with a little bit of aging IMHO. Also, I've never used Carafa III so I can't really say how it would taste making up 5% of the grain bill, but hopefully somebody who knows more than me chimes in.
 
the ratio that stone gave was 5% for carfara III so that is why i used that. Yeah I might ferment 14 days and then 7 dry hop.
 
1 yeast pack, but with a big starter.

Plan to leave it a couple of months.
