Notes

Mash 152 degrees for 60 minutes.
Book suggested 90 minutes "Clone Brews" for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which this is based off of, but I changed around the hops.

Brewed 9/20/20.
Target to ferment 7 days active, then either go secondary (or wait more).
Actually put in keg 10/4 (2 weeks in fermenter)

At calculated efficiency of 70%
OG target is 1.057 and 5 gallons.

Actual Pre boil grav: 1.040
Actual OG: 1.053
Actual yield in fermentor approx 4.5 gallons. (gravity would be 1.048 if 5 gallons was secured)
Calculated FG: 1.015
Actual FG: 1.006

My efficiency was 60%. Watch percentage and adjust water usage.

When transferring to keg, had good clarity , deep yellow / copper color. even uncarbed has a very floral and inviting aroma.
hope bitterness and flavor was present.
