Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

ITS COLD!!!! Drill hole in top of pot for temp. Added 1pt. of water to mash tun during mash in. lowered my sparge amount by 1 pt. had a boilover. waited till final 15 mins for irish moss. had 8oz of magnum. The mash was above 160F for 30 min of the mash in, had to set it outside to cool it down, this likely caused the sharp decline in temp. 63F for fermentation. Krausen appeared within a few hours. ***Adjusted pre-boil SG based on temperature. 1.020 measured at 152F. After 2 days, S.G. = 1.028. Transferred to keg after two weeks. F.G. = 1.020. Dry hopped for 5 days, the kegged. Force carbonated at 30psi

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.90 gallonsliters at 1.036 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.044.

You wanted an OG of 1.047. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (1)

Tasted on 3/19/2015 by NLaG1221

Notes:

Very light and refreshing. Citra hops are definitely the star here, and the beer could use some more bitterness. I would likely add a fll 1oz. of mangum hops during the boil. The yeast used was a year old, so this is the likely cause of the gravity ending a little high. Dry hopping lasted for a week, and this may have been a day or so too long.
