How many of you have brewed NB's Dead Ringer extract kit? I brewed it and I liked it pretty well. My brother-in-law gave me some homebrews and I sampled one today. It was a beer we did together during the UM vs. MSU game (awesome ending if you're a Spartan fan) and I honestly couldn't remember what kit he was doing. I sampled the beer today and LOVED his, but I thought it was more like a pale ale than an IPA. I thought mine was more "intense or robust" in flavor than his. He did dry hop his with homegrown cascade hops he planted. Not sure if that was the difference or not. I think he'll actually like my "intense" version more while I prefer his "mellower/pale ale" style beer. We both used 05 and I'm assuming we both fermented around 65. Besides the dry hopping difference, any other idea why his beer would have come out "mellower" than mine? I like both, I just preferred his - thought it was awesome, actually.
