(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Strike water volume of 5 gallons. Due to the open bottom of the Brewzilla, need two gallons to the strike vol. Took the strike water to 154F. After adding the grain only dropped to 150F. Going forward I will begin to add the grain as the water hits the strike temp and slowly add the grain as the water continues to heat. Boil loss was not even .5 gal. Pre-boil PH 4.98, need to look at getting up to 5.2

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.70 gallonsliters at 1.045 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.052.

You wanted an OG of 1.060. It looks like it will be under.
