SOW younger -
5.7.17. SG 1.016 x'fer to 2md and add 2 0z. of oak chips. has some floaties but didn't cold crash. 6.83%
5.14.17. started to notice a thin layer on top 2 days ago. possible infection from using chips right out of the bag. x'fer to glass and wil keep cold crashed. thinking of gelitain and sorbate??? tastes and smells fine.
5.23.17 kegged..looked and smelled fine. FG cold looked still 1.018. almost too much oak. may still use gelitan?
5.27.17 added gelatin.
it may have been slightly high on the oak flavor. i thnk the american oak was stronger than frech oak.
had about 4.5g in the keg at the party. all but .5 gal was left

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 7.00gallonsliters at 1.054 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.066.
You wanted an OG of 1.068. It looks like it will be under.
