1st runnings: 1.083 SG was 1.010 at 6.5 gallons and had to stop there. Next time I'll have to start with a little thinner mash to hit 7 gallons preboil Used a "1" setting on the mill, will need to go to 1.5 because OG was too high When it came time to add my fuggles that I thought I had in the fridge, there was none. I had some left over cascade and amarillo so I made that work and kept the IBU's where they needed to be. Went back and put a half gallon of boiling water into the wort to bring my volume up to where I wanted it. Ended up with FG where I wanted it this way. only ended up with about 4.75 gallons into the fermenter so I may have to ramp up to a 7.5 preboil volume to get my finish where I want.
