Accidentally used only 5.25 lbs of Maris Otter instead of 6.25 lbs, so OG was 6 pts low.

Based on boiling 6.75 gallonsliters at 1.034 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.039.

You wanted an OG of 1.048. It looks like it will be under.

Tasted on 6/9/2016 by BeeBrew

Notes:

Pours very clear pale gold with 1.5" white head that lingers for 2-3 minutes. Aroma has notes of sweet cornbread and spice. Medium mouthfeel with an initial sweetness and slight biscuit flavor. Very clean slightly spicy bitterness that does not override the malt/corn flavor. Finishes smooth with some lingering bitterness and sweetness. Great summer beer!
