Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.50 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 70 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.17 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.051.

You wanted an OG of 1.061. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (3)

Tasted on 3/19/2015 by MedMisfit

Notes:

tolerable. not hoppy at all. Gelatin after dry hop might be a bad idea.

Tasted on 3/11/2015 by MedMisfit

Notes:

Grain bill is tasty. Not the hoppy aroma I was expecting. I did gelatin in the primary after the dry hop. Debating it I should dry hop again (this time in the keg).

Tasted on 2/28/2015 by MedMisfit

Notes:

Sample out of primary to check gravity. Not much hop character. Sample off the top.
