(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Smooth brew day, overshot my strike temp but stirred it a couple of times and just waited til the temp dropped, mashed in at 153.7 and it held and finished at 153.5. Came in about a quart heavy on volume, gravity was very close to projected (1.072 vs 1.073), and the wort was hoppy and delicious when I tasted the last sample. I'll ferment at 63 and slowly bring up to 68 over the course of a week or so. I'm using Cellar Sciences Cali yeast, which performed very well on my SNPA clone brew. I'll dry hop the first time during active fermentation and add a second dry hop when fermentation is finished. Added first dry hop on 03/31/25 and added the second today 04/03/25, took gravity reading and beer is at 1.014, done fermenting so I'll bottle in a week or so. Bottled this 04/15/25 and ended up with 55 bottles of not quite clear, yellow beer. The sample smelled and tasted good; I'll test out the final product in a couple of weeks.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.20gallonsliters at 1.065 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.074.
You wanted an OG of 1.073. It looks like it will be over.
