4 Dog Brewery

Krabby Patty Pub Ale This is a light beer for our annual Christmas get together. I should of brewed this last month because I don't have time to brew another brew in case this goes south. 14 Gallons 25 lbs. G & P 2 row 1 lb. Crystal ( 75L ) 1 lb. Flaked Barley 60 grams EKG ( 5% AA ) mash hopped 40 grams Nottingham O.G. - 1.052 F.G. - 1.014 % - 5 SRM - 6.8 BU - 18.4 This is a nice, smooth light ale. The Christmas visitors should like it.

3 Dog Harvest Ale This is a Canadian Amber Ale. I brewed this a while back and it was really good until I did something at kegging time. It went south quickly. I still don't know what happened.

I know that the Notty yeast will chew through it to get a final gravity of around 14. It is pretty well done a week later. The hop bitterness is low.

That Dark Stuff This is a recipe I put together from specialty grains that needed to be used up. I should of used more special B in this recipe. Next time. 15 Gallons 25 lbs. G & P 2-row 1 lb. Crystal ( 75L ) 1 lb. Flaked Barley 8 ozs. Weyermans Carafa III 4 ozs. Dingemans Special B 70 grams EKG Mash Hopped 28 grams EKG ( 30 min ) 28 grams EKG ( 1 min ) 40 grams Nottingham O.G. - 1.060 F.G. - 1.010 % - 6.6 SRM - 14.8 BU - 26.3 This beer is okay, but I didn't use enough of the dark grains. It has a hint of special B, but not enough of what I was looking for. I will double the B malt if I ever brew this again.
