Impossible brew day...working alongside the smoker with a pork butt going. First time working with the new brew kettle. No leaks which is good.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.00 gallonsliters at 1.051 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.058.

You wanted an OG of 1.059. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Beer came out very citrusy and tasty. Smooth mouth feel and a little more bitterness then typical for a Hef, but that was expected. What was not expected was the milky haziness...it was expected to be cloudy, but it is even cloudier and thick looking, like a milk shake. Crazy...didn't have any Spanish Moss so that might be part of it.
