This recipe was brewed January 4, 2014, and the figures below reflect the recipe as-brewed.

The OG (1.046) is terribly low - equivalent to about 45% efficiency. The first runnings were 1.065, which is lower than the expected pre-boil OG.

At any rate, this is a drinking beer, not a competition beer, so I'm not terribly concerned.
