Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.70 gallonsliters at 1.030 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.034.

You wanted an OG of 1.050. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Cloudy, bronze color. Head retention is GREAT. Beautiful, white head. Smells very good. Fruity, orange notes. Well balanced. Low bitterness, but hop presence is very apparent. Aroma and flavor are on the same level as the hop bitterness. It could be slightly dryer. Not quite a full bodied beer, but not dry like a traditional Pale. Very drinkable. This is a great pale ale to have on tap all year round. Next time I will keg it, and leave my bottles for traditionally cloudy beers like hefe's and wits.
