Based on boiling 2.00 gallonsliters at 1.054 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.25 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.061.

You wanted an OG of 1.059. It looks like it will be over.

Tasting Notes (1)

Tasted on 11/27/2015 by Scratch

Notes:

Golden color with great head retention and clarity. Floral hop aroma. Tastes more like a pale ale than a rye beer. Hop bitterness with a tiny hint of spiciness from the rye but no smoke flavor. Light to medium bodied. Not a bad beer but not what I was aiming for.
