Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

6/11/17 Brew day seemed to go well but I didn't get the efficiency I should have. I think I under crushed my grain, I was afraid of over crushing and getting a stuck sparge. The other thing may be the fact that the grain I used was about a year old. Got it free with the grain mill, it seems to smell and taste ok but maybe it lost some starch convertibility in that time. Also I tried not to get to much brake material in the fermenter and lost more then I should have. This is my first all grain batch so I got what I wanted out of it, to learn.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 6.50 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.051.

You wanted an OG of 1.081. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (1)

Tasted on 9/15/2017 by Rizero

Notes:

12oz bottle poured into a Shaker at 45°. Color is a clear golden brown with good carbonation and a tight white head. Aroma is bright citrus hops and a bit of fruit in the back. It has a medium body with a smooth mouth feel. Flavor comes on a nice malt backbone with fruity hops giving tangerine and I think a note of pineapple then a mild bitterness. Aftertaste is fruit and spice with only a hint of the bitterness. Overall I really like it but I'm not sure if it's as balanced as it could be, maybe a little on the sweet side. I think I should shoot for more of a dry finish.
