Brew day 02/18/18
Missed Target Gravity by .10
Actual OG 1.062 @ 70.9 F
Ended up with 5Gal instead of 5.5Gal and failed to top with the missing 1/2Gal.

Still a little sweet, so it needs some more time. A little grainy and bready, but no off yeast flavors. Not crazy about the nose, it's a little pungent, but I'm hoping that will die out. Target FG 1.019

Much drier just two days later, most of the sweetness is gone. Nice bready flavor. Still some residual sweetness on palate but hopefully it will die out.
