(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

3/5 Brew day 1st - 1.057 (Forgot to take pre-boil gravity) OG 1.075 3/9 - 1.040 3/14 - 1.019 Attempted a multi-infusion mash. Started near 1qt/lb at 126F, raised to 144F, then mashed out near 168F. Only needed about a gallon of sparge water to hit my initial volume. Wort was still very cloudy (possibly from the torrified wheat). 3/18 taste test - Lots of notes of pear and pineapple, a hint of heat from fusel alcohol in the finish. 5/39 - Bottled about 3.2 gallons with 110g of Dextrose, around 3.1vol CO2. Finished dry at 1.005, yielding about 9.1%. We will see if it actually carbonates that high, since it has been in primary for nearly 3 months. Came out clean, real nice color, some hop flavor, slight heat in the finish. We will see how it does cooled and carbonated.

You wanted an OG of 1.079. It looks like it will be under.
