Well after 2 weeks I threw it it the keg and force carbed(using the rolling method that I'm not a huge fan of).

It's danky but that may be from the 3oz of dry hop(5 day) and I squeezed the hop bag.

I don't get a ton of lemon. It just reminds me of cascade for the most part. It'll probably taste different next weekend when the keg really settles down. Here's the recipe I used:

1/2lb crystal 50L
1/2lb carapils

6lbs gold lme
3.3lbs amber lme
10 oz corn sugar 10min

Wyeast Scottish Ale

1oz Nugget 60
1.5oz lemon drop 15
1.5oz lemon drop 10
1oz lemon drop flame out
3oz lemon drop dry hop

Last of my extract.

I forget the yeast but I think I used Pacman. Any American Ale will be fine.

My 1 minute additions are actually at flameout. Then the wort was chilled with the hops in.

I did throw a whirlfloc tab in there.

Sorry for the sideways pic.
