Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.50 gallonsliters at 1.055 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.063.

You wanted an OG of 1.062. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

Beer is finally starting to clear. Beer is very juicy and has no grassy hop notes. Slightly 'one note'. Preferred first version w/galaxy instead of mosaic. Keeping more kettle hops out of the fermenter would have helped.
