Hefeweizen for the float trip, always a crowd pleaser. Overshot my strike temp so I had to let the kettle cool a bit before the mash, lost more temp during the mash than normal, started 148.6 and ended 147, still got the extraction I was aiming for so I guess it's fine, beer is a nice straw yellow, perfect for a hefe, wort tastes fine, I threw in the last bit of the perle hops about 5 minutes before flameout, so maybe they'll be a hint of hop flavor in the finish. Last beer I'm brewing for the float trip, but it should be done in time to get a couple of weeks in the bottle before we drink it. The other beers are on schedule, I'll bottle the Irish Red in a day or two and then the Flower Power in a week or so, so it'll have 3 weeks in the bottle before the float. Bottled this 04/11/2022 ended up with 52 bottles of nice, straw colored hefeweizen. Tasted good, it's a crowd pleaser.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.20gallonsliters at 1.045 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.051.
You wanted an OG of 1.053. It looks like it will be under.
