Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 12.40 gallonsliters at 1.043 for 70 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.17 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.047.

You wanted an OG of 1.049. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (2)

Tasted on 2/20/2025 by CEBrewer

Notes:

Racked to Kegs. FG now at 1.010 so it finished just a touch more and Pete's says ABV is now 5.06%. Looks like 9.5 gal in the kegs? so maybe I was not as overboiled as I thought.

Tasted on 2/6/2025 by CEBrewer

Notes:

Racked to 2nd. taste is excellent. I think the new/additional orange did help some. flavor overall is very similar to the test batch. This is noticably cloudier but I think the test batch started that way and cleared up after kegging. I only have about 9.5 Gallons in the 2nd. So I may top up with a small amount of water when kegging if it looks noticeably short. I will also try to not boil the second batch quite so long and see if I can get a half gal extra in the 2nd for that batch.
