Ok, so I screwed my efficiency again, ended up with OG of about 1.044, will add a touch of sugar to bump it up. Wort smells and tastes great though.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 23.00 gallonsliters at 1.040 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 2.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.044.

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

Notes:

Thought this was heading south at bottling time as after a fairly long primary I got a few wisps of wild yeast looking stuff around the surface and it wasn't quite as fresh tasting as I thought... But after conditioning it's totally fine. Great pale golden colour and nice and clear. Totally tastes like I blended some sauvignon blanc in there, really unique hop profile. Slightly maltier than expected too for mainly Pils malt, maybe I mashed a bit high or it's the kolsch yeast influence, still great though. Happier than before with the bitterness to sweetness balance. Could go a touch hoppier still, may dry hop next time but that'd make it more of a pale ale.
