Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 13.10 gallonsliters at 1.047 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.051.

You wanted an OG of 1.053. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (2)

Tasted on 9/10/2017 by mpt2222

Notes:

tasted the lighter batch while transferring to the keg today. As with the darker version, this brew is difficult to assess while uncarbonated and so green. I picked up a bit more citrus flavor in this than the dark and it had a cleaner finish, with a slightly more bitter start. But overall, more reminiscent of the original pete snobs recipe at this stage. Minimal hop aroma. Big difference in hop aroma reduction without any flameout or dry hops.

Tasted on 9/9/2017 by mpt2222

Notes:

Not sure what to make of this one yet. Similar to the original Pete Snob's, but not as much citrus aroma at packaging. Not as solid as original at this phase. We'll see what happens after some carbonation and cold conditioning in the keg.
