(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Brew Day:
Steeping grains added @ 150 F, left in 20 mins (heat turned low), removed @ 166 F.
Had a small boil over (very small).
Let wort steep for 10 mins after flameout before using wort chiller to increase extract from 1min hops.
22 mins to chill to 76.5F
Let settle 5 mins before tranferring to fermenter.
Re-hydrated yeast too early. Did it while waiting for the wort to boil. Need to leave to flameout, or just before.
Also, need to get a better filter for the hop pellets. A lot got through the sieve into the fermentor.
Fermenter temp steady at 76F
Day 2:
24 hours after starting fermenter temp up to 78F. wrapped a wet t-shirt around it to cool it down a bit.
Day 8:
Has not bubbled for many days. Must have a small air leak, even after tightening lid as much as I can.
Temperature has dropped to 68F, but then house temp has dropped too. Wrapped in a towel to attempt to keep warmer. 68F still OK.
Day 14:
Sealed up fermenter with food wrap and painters tape. Looks lie a good seal.
Decided not to transfer to secondary, but leave in primary.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.50gallonsliters at NaN for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to NaN.
You wanted an OG of 1.045. It looks like it will be over.
