Stepped into AG territory as of about 2 mths ago. Thus far have done BM's Centennial Blonde which came out really nice, no AE or PM batches to compare taste to. Did Deadringer AG kit, brewed 7/4 and hit OG on head of 1.064. Checked SG tonight for dry hop time and it was at 1.009. Sure it's done. Will let her go for 7 days and keg up after that. Should be fun to compare with AE batch I have done (which tasted very similar to Two Hearted Ale).

The Deadringer AG kit is probably one of NB's best. I've done three so far this year and can barely keep the pipeline full.
My deadringer on the right and bells two hearted on the left. Near perfect color match. And taste, I really detect hardly any difference b/w the two. You could give the deadringer to a Bells brewmaster and they would prob think it was the real deal!!
The Dead Ringer is supposed to be a clone of the Two Hearted Ale. At one time, I think NB was going to call it Three Hearted, but Bell put the cabash on that.
I'm on my third batch. It's on of my favorite brews to make. I see it in constant rotation in my keezer.
Yeah, I've known it was the clone from day 1 but was making point of surprised an all extract batch came that close to a good craft beer (I wasn't even controlling ferment temps back then!).
