Hmmn 3 pots all with about 4 gallons.
Pot 1 1.075SG @ 140F
pot 2 1.035SG @ 140F
pot 3 1.010SG @ 140F
(1.075 + 1.035 + 1.010)/3 = calc 1.04 @ 140F
Should cool to about 1.05ish according to beer365 SG calc. w/6%ABV
Had trouble with the boil, outdoor grill side burner was acting funny and couldn't find the hose for my turkey fryer... Put all three pots on the stove. Flame out, took a sample off to the side for actual FG, got 1.060 even.
In the end it smells pretty hoppy and the color is a tad dark for a wheat.
Now I'll let it cool and pitch the yeast and then the hard part, waiting.
The wort is really sweet and has a lot of light hoppy taste.
