(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
For some reason, the mash temp was low at 147. I added 1/2 gallon of water at 165 to bring temp to 153 and it stayed constant in the mash tun.Tried unsuccessfully to whirlpool. Total volume was a little low so I used all of the boil volume in the fermenter and will try to avoid trub when transferring to secondary. Did not collect enough pre boil volume to account for 90 minute boil. Ambient temp in house is 70, but I placed the fermenter in the tub with 70 degree water to try to maintain consistent temp when the house goes up to 74 during the day. Fermentation in secondary showed heavy yeast froth at 7 days, Left in primary until day 9 when bubbles in airlock reduce to every 45 seconds. Transfered to secondary with 3 oranges zested into vodka 24 hours before.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.50gallonsliters at 1.046 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.057.
You wanted an OG of 1.055. It looks like it will be over.
