Hi all,

1.061 -- 1.014 is more like 6.2% according to this
Other than that it looks fine. Heavier handed on the hops than I'd do, but everyone has different tastes.

Interesting that it would give me that number then. Thank you for catching that!

I just bottled a stout that went from 1.060 to 1.010, giving it 6.6% abv.
