A couple of things to note straight away. The LME is already sterile so no need to boil it.The DME and sugar should absolutely be boiled to sterilize. 10 minutes is more than sufficient.Also agree the OG is high. Maybe run your recipe through an online calculator (Brewer's Friend or Brewfather are good) and target a gravity of 1.060 - 1.065. maybe start by backing off the dex to 200g and DME to 500g.You didn't mention anything about the bitterness of the beer. I agree with the above that was probably a bit high. Although your OG and FG were too so maybe not as easily picked up.It wasn't a particularly high dry hop charge, especially the second one. Maybe just combine into a single dry hop.Also no mention of what you did with your yeast. For such a big beer you would certainly want to get a good healthy pitch.
