Wee Dark and Heavy Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brewday did NOT go well. My mash water amount was WAY too low, but I don't have a huge kettle, so it's a little unavoidable...Ended up hitting my target OG...but with about HALF of the total volume. So, I added about 5L of water, and plan to add 500g Light DME boiled in 500ml of water on fermentation day 3. This should bring the gravity from a pitching gravity of 1.050 to ~1.070.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 8.00 gallonsliters at 1.077 for 120 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 4.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.115.

You wanted an OG of 1.094. It looks like it will be over.
