So I finally brewed this beer and it turned out decent but not exactly what I was looking for. I upped the dry hops to 5 ounces of Galaxy and 1 of Columbus split into two separate doses. One at 3 days into fermentation and one around 4 days till bottling. It’s too bitter for the New England...

That looks delicious. Thanks for the dry hop ideas. I'll probably go that route.

That's the idea. These NE IPAs/Pales are typically thicker in body.

I've changed my mind about the dry hop time about 50 times. May just go 3 days and then a second one at 10 days.

Thanks! I have Citra as well and was thinking of splitting up the dry hop with that along with the Galaxy, maybe even do a double dry hop. I've read from the owner himself that Trillium has moved all their whirlpool hops to a big dry hop. Definitely want to do an El Dorado version at some point...

Hmm the BIAB calculator I just did says at 6.5 lbs of grain I should have space for my strike water and grain so I may go that route. Besides the obvious answer of why to do all grain, do you see the extract version not being at least close? I would probably do the colander sparge method.

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...
