eXmoor eXtra Gold - XXG Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

I estimate we went 1/4 gallon past the target post-boil volume of 5.25 gallons. Should have added spring water to the fermenter to bring up to 5 gallons, but pretty much drained the boil kettle. Also, pre-boil gravity was on the high side. I estimated a post-boil OG of 1.048. Reduce/eliminate the DME next time. Also, only after measuring out the hops did I notice the AA on the bags were different from the recipe. Need to adjust amount of hop to bring IBUs back in line with recipe. Need to brew per recipe next time, and add hops at flameout. Golden rule - follow recipe to the letter first, then adjust as needed. 5/14/2016 : FG measured 1.011@ 70 = 1.012. ABV calculated at 5.25% (higher than recipe ... oops) 76% attenuation.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.50 gallonsliters at 1.036 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.036.

You wanted an OG of 1.045. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Clean malt, but the hop is subdued, probably due to the late addition (at 175F). Needs a bit more bittering. Carbonation is good.
