(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
1-21-16 - Last time I didn't hit the efficiency level and only got a 7.5% batch. Will attempt to do a batch/fly sparge this time. Given the amount of grain, I am going to try to hit 60% efficiency and get an 8% beer this time. I will do 6 gallons strike, 2 gallons batch sparge, and 2 gallons fly sparge to see what I end up with.
1-23-17 - Pitched the yeast without a starter...thinking with this high SG i should have done a starter. Will wait until tomorrow to see the progress and possibly get more yeast to pitch.
1-25-17- not sure what did it but it finally started taking off today
2-24-17- was on a limited beer drinking so didn't give this one too much thought. Life got in the way. I kept it in the primary the whole time and just straight to keg. Great taste and just about what it was supposed to end at.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.70gallonsliters at 1.070 for 65 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.08gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.081.
You wanted an OG of 1.083. It looks like it will be under.
