First time poster. I've brewed a couple of one gallon extract batches and plan to move up to 2.5 gallons fermented in a 3 gallon carboy. One had specialty grains that I had to steep and thinking I'll do a similar process here. Decided to try a pale ale loosely based on Trillium Galaxy Fort Port with a majority of the hops going into the dry hop. Going the extract route instead of 2-row because my kettle is only 4 gallons at the moment and not wanting to spend $100 on a bigger one yet. Plus I like brewing on the gas stove inside right now. Thoughts?
