Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 9.40 gallonsliters at 1.036 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.040.

You wanted an OG of 1.048. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (2)

Tasted on 6/21/2020 by kidrocking79

Notes:

So refreshing. I think it's one of my better beers. Light, very drinkable and summery even as an English ale. Finished off at 1.016 which comes out to a whopping 4.3% ABV lol

Tasted on 5/21/2020 by kidrocking79

Notes:

It's delicious... sample is at 1.020 w/ Green hydrometer 6 days after brew date. so I'm hoping it goes down a few more points... estimate was supposed to be at 1.010..so if it doesn't go down too much.. ABV will be in the 4% range.
