Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Collected 9 gallons water. 5G Strike water 4G Mash. I believe I sparged too fast. Next time use 10G and sparge slower - should take about 1 hour to sparge. Fermenter broke and by Monday 4/1 temp rose to 77F. I transfered to kegerator and dropped temp to 67F. 4/6 Increased temp to 69 and added dry hops. 5/11 PM cold crashed.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.00 gallonsliters at 1.053 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.061.

You wanted an OG of 1.070. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Almost too bitter for the fruity hops to shine through. But very good.
