Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Pours cloudy with a short 1/2 inch head from the keg. The aroma is clearly noticeable and citrusy but lacking the punch-in-the face-hop aroma I was after. Medium to low body with hop characteristics all the way down, though again not as strong as I had hoped. Bitterness is low and not overly alcoholic. So far this beer is great and enjoyable but I think it might still need more time to condition despite being in the keg for 2 weeks now.

Notes:

I tasted about 8 ounces when transferring to the keg, so at this point the beer was not conditioned or carbonated. Great hoppy aroma and flavor -- peaches, sage, a little citrus. At 8% ABV, great balance with no overwhelming alcoholic flavors.
