Guess it didn't boil enough out 8 days in: 1.016 (~6.0 ABV) Not bad! Added 7g chinook to fermentor. 24g
Pre Boil Gravity: 1.044Probably should have boiled for 15-20 minutes longer than the estimated 2 hours. 6 days in: 1.042 (~6.4). Stirred yeast in carboy.I dont think this could have gone worse. 18g
1 week in: 1.020 (~5.9%). Stirred the yeast and trub on the bottom with a sanitized racking cane.2 weeks in: still 1.0.20. Transferred to secondary fermenter 22g corn sugar
5 points off OG :( 1 week in: 1.022 (~6.5%)Added 7g of Centennial hops to carboy
No idea why we fell 18 points short. Mash temp was good, sparge was good, boil was good. No idea. 23g corn sugar
Accidentally lost some of the wort due to dumping it into the strainer too fast :/ WTF! At one week: 1.029 (~5.6%)
I must have added too much water or something. We ended up not having concentrated enough sugars. I probably should have boiled for longer. At 1 week: 1.022 (~5.2%)At 2 week: 1.022 (~5.2%)Kind of a failure 22g corn sugar (May need more next time)
Kept mash between 148 and 156. Mainly between 150 and 153. 7 days in: 1.027 (~5.3%)14 days in: 1.023 (~5.8%) 22 grams corn sugar
Yeast took about 12 hours to start workingFG: 1.018ABV: ~5.6% 28g corn sugar
Hit 160 for a bit longer than I would have liked. Otherwise, stayed right in between 150 and 158! Did hit 148/149 briefly.Post Boil Issues:1. Thermometer said that it was 70 but I felt the side of the pot still warm. Double checked with different thermometer and it was 100?! Already had the yeast pack open and pitched. This was a possible point for contamination.2. Carboy had a chip in the lip that made aeration messy and a possible point for contamination.The carboy was way over the 1 gallon ...
Gravity at 7 days: 1.026 (~5.5%)Added hops morning of day 10Gravity at 14 days: 1.027Estimated ABV: 5.5% 24g corn sugar
=== Mash ===Smacked yeast packet to break activation pouch and prepare yeast and set off to the side. Used 6 quarts of water. Killed heat @ 165 and added grains. Stirred and added lid.

Check #1 @ 45 minutes: 162 - No ChangeCheck #2 @ 30 minutes: 158 - No ChangeCheck #3 @ 15 minutes: 152 - Put heat on lowest setting for 5 minutesCheck #4 @ 00 minutes: 150=== Sparge ===Did four passes of three quarts of sparge ...
