Test Batch A [Harborfields HefeWeizen]

I was aiming for 4.5%
Alcohol by Volume for the Harborfields HefeWeizen,
but the Original Gravity (OG) of the first test batch
was higher than I was shooting for (1.058, vs. the
target of 1.052).
The Final Gravity (FG) was 1.020, bringing Test Batch A of the Harborfields HefeWeizen at 4.9% Alcohol by Volume. Higher than the target, but not too bad for the first brewing session in almost a year. (Once I filed for the licenses, I was not permitted to brew until the licenses were granted. Welcome to Brewer Hell.)
Kegged up this first batch today -- it's going to be bottled from the keg after it reaches the proper carbonation level.
Test Batch B of the Harborfields HefeWeizen had an OG of 1.053, much closer to the target 1.052. We'll soon see how that one turns out, as it is just a week behind Test Batch A.
