(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
10/12/17 Made yeast starter, 2L water with 245g light DME, 5 hop pellets and 1/4tsp yeast nutrient in a 2L flask on a stir plate. Did this at 7:45am and at 7:15pm there was no change at all, it had me a little worried. By 8am on 10/13 it was chugging away just fine.
10/14/17 Brew Day. Had a little trouble hitting my strike temp. Needed 165 but over shot it, was at 170. Moved it to mash tun and it dropped to 162 so I pulled a couple gallons off heated it up to 170 mixed back in, this the 165. Doughed in grains and got temp of 154. The rest of brew day went well. Pitched yeast at 2:55pm.
10/15/17 Fermentation took off right away. Overnight it went crazy, blew the top off the bubbler. I had to tape it down and put in a blow off tube.
10/18/17 Has slowed enough to pull blow off tube and put an air lock back on. It's still blew stuff into the air lock and had to change it out again on the 20th.
10/29/17 Racked to secondary with 10oz of raisins. Brix is at 10.1, NB calculator shows this to be 1.014.
10/31/17 Getting a little more activity from the raisins being in there.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.50gallonsliters at 1.063 for 65 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.08gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.072.
You wanted an OG of 1.083. It looks like it will be under.
