Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.50 gallonsliters at 1.038 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.046.

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

Notes:

Probably the best all around beer brewed yet. It is the beer that I get asked most if they can have another. Will be very good over summer sitting on the patio. Really turned out well.
