My OG was a few points off (47) due to over volume. Just transfered to a secondary yesterday with a gravity of 6. Just waiting for it to finish clearing than into the bottle it goes. Will post at taste time.
Three weeks in the bottle

Very hoppy... almost SNPA hoppy. It has a nice head which sits on a light amber medium bodied beer. The malts are present however the hops soon rise over. I have never had the real stuff to do a comparisent. My darling bride picked the recipe out. Over all, not bad.
