The beer of champagne

The Pale Ale is complete. Brandon got to do most of the heavy lifting, thank goodness, because I have a serious crick in my neck right now. As a result of our concerted efforts we now have 4.4 gallons of wort fermenting in the hall closet. I wanted to get more than that, but I think my kettle and brewing system just boils off more than I thought. I started with just about 6.5 gallons pre boil and I ended up getting about 4.5 after. I should be able to tweak some things to get it going right. My efficiency was at 74%, it would have been higher had I gotten 5 gallons, but I can live with 74. The OG was 1.061 and with an expected FG of 1.012, we should have a pretty punchy pale ale in about a month.
