Based on boiling 6.25 gallonsliters at 1.055 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.064.

You wanted an OG of 1.074. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

with the raw wort, I could detect a nice aroma of hops. Beer tasted pretty darn good even with out carbonization. Color was spot on. Secondary tap in fermentor worked great, got clear beer into keg.

Notes:

Wort was slow to ferment, added heat on the second day. On Tuesday I noticed a ring above the water line but no bubbling action in gas lock.?? Opened fermenter, big head of foam, so closed it up again. On Wednesday I observed it was bubbling and appeared to be mixing in the fermenter. Slow start that's for sure.
