Return of the BIG DOG label from Batch #144, circa November 2014. Getting up to 8.0% abv with my ten-gallon brewing system requires either adding about 3# of liquid malt extract to the boil, or just using 3-gallons less water in the sparging process, which results in a 7-gallon batch of "be careful with this ale". For this one, I used the former technique, so I could harvest closer to ten gallons of fermented goodness.
Two-row malted barley, Special Roast malt, Extra Pale liquid-malt extract, US Fuggle and Mt. Rainier pellet hops, and Mangrove Jack's "New World Strong Ale" yeast. If you find yourself before a full 12-oz bottle of this ale, find yourself a friend and a couple of 6-oz glasses, before popping it open and sharing.
Cheers!
