Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.50gallonsliters at 1.045 for 45 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.75gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.050.
You wanted an OG of 1.051. It looks like it will be under.
Nicely balanced, smooth, blackberry, malty, chocolate, moderately bitter, very enjoyable. Maybe add some earthy, spicy hops next time to add complexity.
