4 Dog Brewery

3 Dog Pub Ale 15 Gallons This turned out pretty good, so I am going to brew it again. I am using saved yeast from the last brew, so I may as well use the same recipe. 22 lbs. Canada Malt 1 lb. Weyermann Crystal 10L 80 grams Hallertauer - 60 min. WLP001 Cal Ale slurry O.G. - 1.042 F.G. - 1.010 % - 4.2 SRM - 4.2 BU - 20 Seems to taste a little smoother than the last one.

That seemed to work, at least for this recipe. I kegged one of two carboys early, just to see what it would be like. It has a smooth, firm bitterness to it. No cloying at all. I am not sure if cloying is the word I am looking for. In the past I tasted an over the top bitterness or hop taste that I didn't like. Now, that was with Chinook hops which do give that taste if used in large quantities. This is hopefully th...

3 Dog Pub Ale This is a simple ale using yeast I haven't used in 5 years. I went back to my old records and found that this was one of the best beers I have ever made using this yeast. Well, back to the past. 15 Gallons 22 lbs. Canada Malt 1 lb. Weyermann Crystal 10L 80 grams Hallertauer - 60 min. WLP001 Cal Ale yeast O.G. - 1.046 F.G. - 1.009 % - 4.7 BU - 20 SRM - 4.5
