Finally got around to brewing this. I ended up using DME and My local shop didn't have magnum hops in 1 oz so I brewed with an oz citra as my first wort hop. Estimated OG was 1.061, actual OG was 1.043, not sure where I dropped the ball there :/ but from the picture you can see it is happily...

Thanks for your input!

Hello Everyone! This is my first post, fourth extract brew, but first time putting together a recipe with steeping grains, extract and hops on my own. So I would appreciate some feedback on what you might change. Estimated gravity, abv, and IBU all came from BrewersFriend. 10lbs Stout Extract...
