Strike Water 164F 0 mins - Mash Temp 156F 30 mins - Mash Temp 152.6F 60 mins - Mash Temp 151.F 7.5 gallons in the boil kettle. About 1 gallon over planned. Need to figure out why. Pre-boil gravity: 1.075 @ 73.8F = 1.076 (woah!) OG: 1.062 @ 60.8F = 1.062 (mmm, makes sense if we ignore the pre-boil gravity since we were 1 gallon over the volume). Efficiency is 74%. 1/8/2018 AM (Day 11) Still some bubbling (slow). Small yeast cap still present (not sure of thickness ... no visibility from the side). SG 1.015 @ 66.2F = 1.016. 1/13/2018 (Day 16) Transferred to secondary and dry-hopped. Lowered target temp to 67F (was 68F). 1/20/2018 Kegged OG 1.016 @ 51.3F = 1.015. 6.2% ABV

You wanted an OG of 1.070. It looks like it will be under.
