SG?

I didn't take a reading... the instructions had me add the boiled wort to about ~4.5 gallons of tap water, pitch the yeast, then top-up to ~5gallons.

I didn't want to take a sample after I pitched the yeast.

There's probably a way to estimate the SG based on the "grain" bill.
Find me on github.
