Batch #144 ~ BIG DOG Strong Ale

Having learned that the maximum amount of grain I can fit into my brewing system, using 10-gallon food grade Rubbermaid Coolers, is 28 pounds of grain, I sought to brew a stronger beer. Reducing the water a bit, so that I end up with around 8 gallons of beer instead of 10, brings us to a relatively high 7.75% alcohol for this Strong Ale. My wife Jan found a T-shirt with this image of a Black Lab appearing to attempt to claim a fallen tree, as if its owner could throw it for a game of fetch. Seemed like the perfect image for this beer. Cheers! MT
