Added 9g Calcium Chloride; 4.5g Gypsum; 1/4 crushed Campden tablet to 5 Gallons of Mash water
Mashed in w/5 Gallons @ 161.5; Initial Mash temp 149.5
@45 minutes, Mash @ 149, SG 1.068
@60 Minutes, Mash @146 (open for a few minutes)
Vorlaufed 3 jugs; First runnings around 18 Brix; 1.074
Ran off 3.2 Gallons @ 1.071 onto 2oz Cascade
Batch sparge w/3.2 gallons @ 168F; 15 minute rest
Vorlaufed 3 jugs; First runnings from sparging around 1.044 (average clearly lower)
Collected 3.2 gallons; started boil w/ 6.4 gallons @ 1.055
Boiled 60 min (slight drop in temp @20 min to go due to gas cylinder change(s))
hop additions at 5 min and after flameout and dropping the temp to 180; stopped chilling for 15 minutes for a "hop stand"
End boil w/5.25 Gallons @ 1.062
resumed chilling w/stirring to speed cooling to pitching temp (70F); Whirlpool but poured into 5-gallon fermenter since a) Wit is still fermenting actively and b) can't find half of siphon (Hannah?!)
oxygenated @25-30 seconds (oxygenating in 5gallon carboy is a complete cluster duck) and pitched fresh WLP007
--- 4/30/17 ---
Fermenting quite nicely when we got home from the eastern shore. Will probably add first dry hop Monday night.
--- 5/1/17 ---
Decided to space dry hops into 3 additions (in the primary, in secondary, in keg) Added 1 oz Mosaic and 1oz Hallertau Blanc to the primary.
--- 5/3/17 ---
AM: Fermentation slowing down; will switch to airlock tonight and sample gravity/taste
PM: Measured w/Refractometer at 7.2 Brix (1.012); Added 1oz Citra, 1oz Mosaic
--- 5/5/17 ---
Still at 1.012, kegged with 2 droppers of biofine clear and final dry hop (in bag)... 1oz Citra, 1oz Hallertau Blanc, and threw in .5oz falconers flight from an older batch. Force carbed at 30 PSI with agitation for 5-10 minutes the. Dropped to 5 psi

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 6.50gallonsliters at 1.055 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.063.
You wanted an OG of 1.062. It looks like it will be over.
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.
