Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Sam thin gray-green hue to the amber color. Much better head. Same as yesterday's full bottle. I can't smell. Much better.Tastes like beer, but not much like pumpkin beer. Additional carbonation (see Overall Impression below) smoothed out the sharp taste and there seems to be proper (that is beer like) mouth feel with a little bitterness lingering at the end. This was a half bottle. I ran out of beer and had just enough for a half when I was bottling. I thought I would see what happens to a 1/2 bottle. It came out better than the full bottle at this point. Maybe I'm overfilling my bottles, and suppressing the yeast's C02 production?! I will try filling less in my next run.

Notes:

coppery amber colour, looks a little thin. Not quite enough carbonation yet. Unfortunately for me, I have lost my sense of smell, so I can only say " it's not strong enough to register" still bitter and a little sharp. Not enough pumpkin spice to interest me. thin. Carbonation still low. Not too happy, so far. Will try again in a week.
