Molasses Brown Ale Brew Session

Brew Session Info

7/7/2019
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brew day went well. Total time was around 3.5 hours. Used recycled yeast from my Wee Heavy, so I think that contributed to the high FG, and thus low ABV. Ended up getting a really low ABV by the end of fermentation, so I added 500ml of whiskey to the final 10L volume.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 12.00 gallonsliters at 1.063 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 4.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.084.

You wanted an OG of 1.050. It looks like it will be over.
