That's pretty much what I was thinking (can't wait to try the prize).
No so sure about the Nelson Sauvin though? I haven't used it in such a big proportion before and don't want to over do it.
I'm gonna be racking this into the carboy tonight, to make way for tomorrows brew.
So you've still got about a week to get your guesses in before its bottled.
I've decided to increase the dry hops after all and think I'll go with:-
40g Galaxy
30g Nelson

Sounds bloody gorgeous that does!
1.052 down to 1.010

The beer is now kegged/bottled, so I can close the comp and reveal the results.
The OG was 1.055
Giving me 72-75% efficiency depending on which software I look at.
The FG was 1.011
Which is approx. 79% attenuation according to beersmith
Finished with 22.5 litres at 5.8% ABV
So in reverse order:-

In 1st place, with a guess that was an impressive 1 point different from results, congratulations goes to:-

Soooooo close I could almost taste it! [emoji12] Congrats JonD, that was one hell of a guess.
Quick update on this brew.
The bottles are conditioning away in the brew fridge above the FV, and the sacrificial plastic bottle is firming up nicely:-
Not long to wait now JonD_87 !
I mainly brewed this beer to keg & share with friends at a BBQ on Sunday (we'll be lucky looking at the weather), and I had the 1st pint out of the kegerator tonight to see how its coming along:-
Still a bit of chill haze, which I hope will clear a bit in the next few days, but its pretty good. Bitter and fruity and the NS seems to come through more (to my very amateur taste) as I get further down the pint.
I'm glad I increased the dry hopping a bit as its most definitely hop forward without being silly, but I like hoppy beers so might be biased.

I prize the haze. It's fashionable.
