(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brewing for the float trip, usually do a Weissbier, but I'm going with a Belgian Wit this year for a slight change. Smooth mash, temp started at 149.1 and ended at 148.2, gravity after mash was spot on at 1.049. Took a reading today 04/17/23 and the beer is at 1.012 right now, it's likely done, the color is a beautiful light yellow, perfect for a wit. It tastes delicious even flat, the orange and coriander are present, but not overwhelming, can't wait till his is carbed up and has a big orange or lemon wedge in it. Will end up around 6% ABV, I'll bottle in a few days. Bottled today 04/21/2023, ended up with 56 bottles of beer, looks and tastes very nice.

You wanted an OG of 1.057. It looks like it will be under.
