Double crushed grain and added a half pound of rice hulls
Mashed about 75 minutes (mashed in w/6 gallons at 159). Slightly undershot initial mash temp
Collected 4 gallons
First runnings: 1.059
Cold sparge w/3 gallons (mash temp ~100F) let sit for 10 minutes
Sparge runnings at 1.034
Preboil: 7 Gallons @ 1.044
60 minute boil
Added Super Moss and Yeast nutrient at 10 minutes to go
Added 1oz Galaxy w/5 minutes to go
Added 1oz Galaxy into kettle when chilled to 180F
~6 Gallons @ 1.052 into fermenter
Aerated with Stirrer and pitched 2 Jars of harvested WLP007 (1st generation) @ 10pm
--- 3/27/17 ---
Nice fermentation going @ 48 hrs post pitch
Added .5 oz galaxy (going to split biotransformation dry hop in two)

Fermentation slowed; checked gravity w/refractometer at 6 Brix; corresponds to 1.006 using post-fermentation refractometer correction app on northern brewer (will verify with final hydrometer reading). Very orange aroma (and flavor) with some harshness in the finish. May just need a few more days. Might switch final dry hop to Falconers Flight to give some extra depth to the flavors.
--- 4/1/2017 ---
Racked to secondary to harvest yeast; added modified dry hop of .5oz Falconers Flight and 1oz EKG to fermenter; gravity w/hydrometer was 1.006; est. ABV around 5.6%
--- 4/8/2017 ---
Racked to keg w/1 dropper of Bio-Fine; Gravity 1.005; Force Carbed at 25 PSI (rocked keg on side for 5 minutes and then left overnight in fridge), dropped pressure on Sunday.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.00gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.050.
You wanted an OG of 1.057. It looks like it will be under.
Maltier and fruitier (some toffee malt character?) than the first batch of Pale. Orange-y aromas with deeper/earthier hop notes (from the Goldings?). Really easy drinker, probably more of an English style than the first batch.
