Brewday Notes and Reflections:

First Runnings: 1.085
Preboil - 1.054
O.G. -- 1.060

Gravity was a bit lower than planned because I did not boil off enough. This seems to happen frequently. I should always have the burner turned all the way up. I ended up with 12 gallons of 1.069 instead of the 11 gallons of 1.069 I planed for.
