(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Pre-Boil Efficiency was much lower than expected ... added some brown sugar to get it where it should be. I must have had one too many before I started brewing...I used water from my kitchen sink to be able start with a higher temperature, but forgot that the water is softened. The brew at this stage tastes delicious. I can't remember ever making a beer that tasted so unbelievable at this stage. I think might end up being my best so far. Stay tuned.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.20 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.050.

You wanted an OG of 1.061. It looks like it will be under.
