1.022 Preboil Gravity
*I don't know if this low preboil is due to the wheat in the mash, or if I added too much water at some point. Going to make this a two hour boil to see if I can still end up with a decent OG.*
1.040 OG
*The two hour boil helped, though I did sacrifice about 1 gallon. Will try less mash water next time.*
1.002 FG
*The beer finished at 5% ABV.*
Fermenter showed activity in the airlock within the first 12 hours, it's slow but steady. So far the gas coming out of the air lock smells like beer without infection.
*Will tweak malt and water amounts next brew session so I won't have to do a two hour boil. Because of the two hour boil, I ended up with just above a gallon of finished beer, yielded ten bottles even.

Special Instructions
1.Heat 2.35 gallons of water up to 163-164°F. Put grain bag in Kettle when strike temp is reached.
2.Mash in grain and let rest for 60 minutes at 152°F. Cover kettle with towels or a blanket during mash to keep in heat.
3.Pull grain bag out of wort. Place cooking rack on top of kettle. Set bag on rack and let drain into kettle. Squeeze the Christ out of the bag, then Sparge with 1.5 Quarts of 170°F water. Pre boil gravity will be somewhere around 1.028-1.030.
4.Bring wort to a rolling boil for 90 minutes, with a single hop addition at 20 minutes left of the boil.
5.Rapidly cool to 68-70°F. Siphon into Fermenter, aerate, and pitch yeast at 68°F.
6.Let ferment for 2 weeks, then bottle or keg the beer.
Tested before bottling so no carbonation yet. The bread notes from the pilsner malt are there but not overwhelming. Banana and clove present on the aroma. The body seems right. Detecting a citrus on the taste.
