OG came in at 1.045, reading some forums it seems like brewgr ABV calculator isn't ever correct. Active fermentation at 16 hours FG 1.008 ABV 4.85% Color is spot on at the moment. Tasting: color remained a dark red with a citrisy nose, a malty sweet almost mollasses body that tapers off for a roasted finish. Very pleased with the way this turned out. I did a second running Rusty IPA by adding 5lbs of DME I had lying around, 9.5% very citrisy and slightly bitter but a very nice brew all in all.
