4 Dog Brewery

Conical This is my pilot brew for an English style ale. I have another English style beer coming and which one I like most will be a regular beer which hopefully be on beer gas sometime. Boddingtons or Fullers? We will see. If this style of beer is okay, I do intend on buying some Pearl malt instead of using 2 row. Taste is far superior. 22 lbs. UCM 2 row 1.56 lbs.

Then, just brew and brew. Ingredients 24 lbs. UCM 2 row 1 lb.
