4 Dog Brewery

Krabby Patty Another stab at this light ale. I used all of my EKG hops I bought two years ago for very inflated prices. I am not sure what kind of hops to buy now. Williamette maybe. They are cheap. 15 Gallons 20 lbs. Canada Malting 2-row 8 ounces Crystal ( 70L ) 74 grams EKG ( 60 min ) 40 grams Nottingham O.G. - 1.042 F.G. - 1.010 % - 4.2 SRM - 4.6 BU - 21.4 It has a nice sweet taste to it. Very light. This is a beer for around the pool, etc... I want to get a few kegs ahead and I can brew more interesting beers in the spring. Lagers for sure.

Krabby Patty This is a tribute to my grandson who loves Sponge Bob Square Pants. He calls his burgers Krabby Patty just like the show. I have had great success in the past with this light ale, but not lately. 15 Gallons 20 lbs. Canada Malting Pale Malt 8 ounces Crystal ( 70L ) 57 grams EKG hops 40 grams Nottingham O.G. - 1.042 F.G. - 1.010 % - 4.2 SRM - 4.6 BU - 16.5 The basement is cool 62F. I let this ferment at that temp because I am using Nottingham and it is supposed have no problem fermenting at cool temps. I would of had to move the Conical in the beer room with the heater on using another kind of yeast. It fermented no problem and it got up to 66F a high krausen and stayed there for two days. No need to take a gravity reading until day 12, and that will be on Jan. 13-14. This turned out good. Very light and refreshing. The hops sure lost their bittering qualities. No problem since this is a brew I am trying to get down consistently to have around the pool. I plan on having lots...
