(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Hit mash temp right on the money (155.4), after 15min I was at 154.8, at the half way mark I had 153, at 45min in I had 152.4, and at the end it was at 151.2. Got mash out temp up to 160, let sit 5min the recirculated for 13min before starting transfer. When I checked per-boil gravity I got 1.050 so I guessed it would be about 1.052. But Now that the sample has cooled I get 1.054. Post boil gravity came out one point over my anticipated at 1.067. Pitch yeast at 12:15, I got started early on this one and I liked it. 5/17/20 Rack Day, got a brix of 8.9 this comes out to be about 1.017, a little higher than I thought I would get. Dry hop with 1oz. Eroica. I am only going to use 1oz for about 4 days before getting it in a keg. 5/24/20 Well I let it go week. got a brix of 8 giving it a F.G. of 1.012. Taste at this point is fruity with a bold bitterness.

You wanted an OG of 1.067. It looks like it will be under.
