Alright, here is a picture of the beer. The second time around I feel like the hop taste stayed around a little better and the aroma faded, but probably typical for any beer. I wasn't eating this time, so much easier to tell the flavor profile. See the attachment for a picture.

All - I tried the first bottle of this batch the other day. It turned out pretty decent...color was darker than I was shooting for (probably using light LME instead of extra light), it was hazy but not quite as hazy I was shooting for. The first aroma was all Mosaic/Citra in the face, which was...

Good! That makes me feel better about steeping the flaked grains the way I did. I added the 4 oz of dry hops on Saturday - plan to bottle Thursday or Friday. Any thoughts on dry hop durations? I thought about doing half Saturday and the other half Tuesday to get a 6 day and 3 day, but put it all...

Mainer - thanks for chiming in. I had read something similar, but the guys at my local homebrew shop advised me to drop the 2-row that I originally had in the recipe. That said, I am slightly nervous about not putting it in. I will report back to this thread once I bottle to let you know FG...

Brew day went off without a hitch - everything seems to be on track. It has been in the fermenter for 10 days and the airlock doesn't show any activity. I am going to add the dry hops soon and then bottle in the next week. I haven't checked FG yet - color looks slightly darker than planned, but...

I am attempting to do a NE Extract batch for my next brew, and built a recipe using Brewer's Friend. I have no idea how it will turn out yet - but plan to brew in the next couple weeks. Check out my recipe at the below link: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/520087/ne-ipa...
