(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Strike temp was to low at 30 minutes added 1.5 gallons of 190 degree water to bring up mash temp to 147, did batch sparge, sparge water was 197 it got my mash at 168 for 15 min. My grain temp must have been colder, I had it stored in the basement, should of been more patient taking the temp...

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.00 gallonsliters at 1.054 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.062.

You wanted an OG of 1.064. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Bottle conditioning took 3 weeks to get a good carbonation level, put in fridge for 1 week and still had a lot of haze. Good aroma not a lot of head but beer tastes good, possibly look into ways to clear it up during brewing. Good flavor and aroma over all an excellent beer, look forward to brewing in the future.

Notes:

Dry hopped longer than originally thought I would, beer smells awesome, lots of fresh hop smell, tastes excellent, very fruity hoppy with a nice dry finish and slight heavy alcohol flavor, exactly what I was hoping for and looking for. Good beer to drink a few and watch football.

Notes:

Had a very aggressive/active fermentation, hit high krausen at day 2 and it held strong for 2 days, at day 5 it was coming down, temps during fermentation were near 74 degrees and then after day 5 they started dropping and now it is sitting around 62. Tested gravity and I am sitting at 1.010, beer tasted very good, nice and dry and now I am going to dry hop in the primary. Plan to bottle in 5-6 days.
