Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (2)

Tasted on 12/4/2016 by mpt2222

Notes:

Tasted while bottling. Crisp, fruity and spicy. I can't believe how much favor this has for being so dry and with relatively little hops.

Tasted on 11/27/2016 by mpt2222

Notes:

Racked to secondary. Took a taste. Very similar to a stellar type brew. Turning out great! Will wash the yeast and brew this again. No changes necessary.
