It spec'd out at 4% alcohol.

4%? Thats little low for an IPA. What are the IBU's?

I showed a buddy this thread and he went out and bought a kit just like yours. He is making his first pale ale this weekend.

You are correct. I think I pulled to much of the crap out of the wort before I put it in the fermenter. I think I'm going to end up with an IPA lite.

I have learned a lot from this first batch. My next batch will be spot on-guaranteed.

What is the IBU of the beer? Did you calculate that?
