(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

6/11/23 Started first mash step (145) at 9:40, will mash 20 min. Raised temp to 160 for 45min, added about 1 gal of 200 water from the HLT to speed up the rise in temp. This worked well, hit 160 by 10:05. At about 10:50 raised temp to 169. This took 8min then held for 15min. Run off started at 11:13 and ended at 11:45, about 35min. Boil started around 11:48 with 8 gals at 1.052. At the end of the boil and chill I had 5.75 gals at 1.065. This gave me 5 gals in the fermenter. I could only get it down to 71, so I aerated and put in fermentation chamber to cool to 60 before pitching the yeast.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 8.00 gallonsliters at 1.052 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.88 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.064.

You wanted an OG of 1.065. It looks like it will be under.
