Based on boiling 24.60 gallonsliters at 1.051 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.053.

You wanted an OG of 1.074. It looks like it will be under.

Tasted on 4/12/2016 by BeerTokay

Notes:

Quite grassy, Jess didn't like this one as much as the first batch, I was pretty keen on it though!

Tasted on 2/21/2016 by BeerTokay

Notes:

Lighter hops than the other version without the Rakau, very balanced, nice aftertaste, smooth, no where near as bitter in the aftertaste as the first batch. Definitely keen to see how this matures.
