Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 8.00 gallonsliters at 1.065 for 180 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 3.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.089.

You wanted an OG of 1.073. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

Great flavor. A little on the heavy malty side. Beer cleared up after a couple of weeks in the keg. Next time I will use a higher protein grain bill to retain cloudiness.
