Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 14.00 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.047.

You wanted an OG of 1.053. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

strange plastic flavor still hanging on. surprised how dark this beer turned out. I don't care for this recipe. not on my "do again" list. Maybe would try next time with some changes: remove the corn, less Munich, and use true saison yeast per recipe.

Notes:

Official FG taken with calibrated refractometer (and checked with hydrometer) came in at 1.006. ABV ended at 5.8. A bit of sweetness remains. Has a classic "beer" taste: clean and refreshing, not hoppy or bitter. This should be a recipe for the masses balanced well enough to please the craft brew crew as well as those who prefer the lighter fare.

Notes:

Snagged a quick taste while taking a gravity reading with new refractometer (got 1.005). ABV at 5.9. Sweeter flavor than previous batches with similar recipes. Munich comes through just right. Should be a nice summer brew, albeit not as spicy as a true saison should be.
