(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Brewed this today 04/04/25, planned mash temp of 150, came in at 151.3 and let it go for 60 minutes, gave the mash a good stir, and mashed another 30 minutes at 147. Looking for a fermentable wort, came in a point high on pre-boil gravity at 1.043, I'm happy with that. Ended up with 5.75 into the fermenter at 1.054, heavy on the gravity, I wanted to make sure I had enough headspace to add the pineapple juice on Monday. The wort tastes good, still sweet of course, but I'm getting the coriander, and I just detect a faint bit of salt, which tastes good now, hopefully it will balance well as the yeast sours the beer.
It's been a while since I've done something completely new like this beer with this new yeast, so I'm excited to see how it ferments. Took gravity reading today, 04/15/25 and the beer is at 1.009. it's likely done, but I'll let it have another few days at 75 in the fermentation chamber before bottling. This will end up close to 6% abv, stronger than I planned.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.75gallonsliters at 1.043 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.049.
You were planning on an OG of 1.049 so you are right on track. Nice job!
