Okay, cool. Thanks for the advice. I'll stagger them in the way that you describe and see how that goes. It might turn out for the best. I think I like my IPAs less overwhelmingly bitter anyway.
I'm pretty new to home brewing (7 beers and 1 mead) and took about a five year hiatus to have kids. I never really loved any of the brews that I made (all extract). My preferred style is IPA and I decided to pick back up and give it another try by brewing Northern Brewer's Dead Ringer...
