(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Was supposed to be a mini batch initially. I heated 14 qts of water up to make strike temp. However, I overshot and added one qt of cold water to the mashtun to get temp down to 152.2. Again, when I heated sparge water, I overshot my temp of 170 and had to add about 2 qts of cold water to bring the temp down. So instead of having 3.8 gallons in the fermentor at an OG of 1.068 I wound up with 4.9 gallons at 1.052. Which is ok with me, the bittering ratio still comes out balanced and I will dry hop with a 1/4 ounce of citra in the secondary to amp up the flavor. Noticed activity in the airlock approx 8 hrs after pitching yeast. Vigorous activity for the next 24-36 hours, slowing down somewhat by Sunday evening. I will leave this in the primary for 2 weeks, then rack off to secondary and add 1/4 oz citra hops as a dry hop addition. Bottled with table sugar instead of corn sugar. Interested to see if using a different type of sugar makes a difference in the carbonation. So far it seems to be carbonating very well in the bottle.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.70gallonsliters at 1.059 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.068.
You wanted an OG of 1.069. It looks like it will be under.
