4 Dog Brewery

Ingredients in the mash 9 lbs. Bairds Maris Otter 2 lbs. Flaked Barley- ( DO NOT MILL FLAKED BARLEY ) Nottingham dry yeast Cold Steeped in the fridge overnight in 1 gallon of water in a pot. Pour the black extract into another pot with your big funnel which  has the middle strainer.                                        DO NOT RINSE THEM AT ALL 6 ozs. Black Malt 6 ozs. CaraFa Special III 6 ozs. Roast Barley 6 ozs. Chocolate Malt Add this extract the last 15 minutes or so in the boil to sanitize. Remove from the fridge an hour before adding to the boil and strain it with your big  funnel into another pot.  Make sure you don't have too much wort in Mr. Robobrew when you sparge. You will need a gallon or slightly less before doing the boil. Go to the 6.5 gallon mark and no more. It did indeed go to that level. Now, if I can figure out a better way to cold steep the grains....

  Ribs 2-2-1 The weather is warmer on Aug. 31st - 25C, today? 21C. 2 hours smoke 2 hours in foil with brown sugar, honey and 4 slices of butter chunks. 1 hour in butcher paper with bbq sauce on the bbq. I usually don't have much heat left on the smoker, so that is why I use the BBQ.                                                             Day before after membrane removal, add Rib rub. Completely cover the Ribs fully. Toss in a bag in the fridge. An hour before smoking, add the other rub or what you have just to freshen them up. When your chimney starter is completely white, pour it all around the charcoal in the WSM instead of pouring them in the middle. I see when I am done that I am not getting them all burnt through like the middle ones.                          ...
