Gotta remember that 10gals of IPA needs 15+lbs of extract if using all LME.
Dry hopped by dumping in the pellets directly - immediately after which I remembered I wanted to put them into a bag and hang them. Oh well, next time.
Yep - wasted at least 2/3 gallon to the hops - next time bag'em and weight them down w/marbles.
Also - yah, min 15lbs extract (LME) ... it's waaaayyy to light bodied
