(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Took 1 hour 15 mins to bring 6.5 gallons to boil.
15 mins to get 1/2 gallon to 170F.
So start the boil kettle first, then steeping.
5 gallons into fermenter (left 0.2 gallons in kettle). Added 1/2 gallon to bring up to 5.5 in fermenter.
OG reading: 1.047 @ 66.6F = 1.048 (spot on).
11/23/2017.
Yeast cap already formed. Using active starter accelerated the yeast startup dramatically.
11/26/2017 (4 days)
Yeast cap mostly dropped (still some on top). Upped temp to 69 /-1 as ambient is 60F.
11/28/2017 (6 days)
FG reading : 1.0085 @ 67.3F = 1.009 (past target of 1.012). ABV is 5.1% ABV (target was 4.7%). Attenuation 82% (WhiteLabs range 73-80).
(PM) Started cold crash. Initially set to 60F.
11/29/2017 (7 days)
(AM) Set to 55F.
11/20/2017 (8 days)

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.50gallonsliters at NaN for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to NaN.
You wanted an OG of 1.048. It looks like it will be over.
