Thanks for all the input guys. I have mapped my process and can avoid any reheating and am fairly confident that I can achieve a decent 2nd beer.
Here's to experimentation!

Thinner mouth - fine with this as it's a smaller beer
Watered Down taste - Dry hops
Absence of hops - Dry Hops and I add 95% of extract post boil, so I'd think util. is pretty good.
No Flavour - Dry Hops and I'll be adding a top up of steeped grains for flavour
Light Colour - I'll be adding...
When you say 'characteristics' what do you mean?
Obviously it will be different from the original, but I'd expect that. Such things as thinner mouth feel, paler colour are fine.
I am thinking of brewing a batch of extract beer with the following specs
20 litres
OG 1.095
IBU 66
Colour 12.7 EBC
ABV 9.5
I will keep 10 litres as it is. the other 10 litres I was thinking I could dilute using a further 10 litres. would this result in my original specs being...
I have just done a couple of extract brews with it. All I can say is "fast fermentation!"
both times it took off after about 4/5 hours and reached estimated FG in less than 48hrs.

i wanted to get a few different malts in there so i could get a varied flavour. maybe i'm trying to get too over complicate things.
thanks.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that sugar gives a dry finish. I'll try amending with more extract.
Any ideas what sort of flavours sugar may add, I assume some sweetness but what else?
evening all. i'm new to the brewing and the forum. after a few succesful blonds and bitters i am venturing to the dark side and would really appreacite anyones view on how this might turn out?

absolutely love the Beerlabelizer. adds a really classy touch to an otherwise brown bottle!
the trick with the milk has worked wonders too.

Afternoon (well it is here) all!
I have just started extract brewing and wanted to give my thanks to everyone who has contributed to this forum. It's amazing! Every question I've come up with so far has been answered already and I have learnt so much. I wish I'd found the 'bottling tips'...
