Notes

This started out as a recipe for "Dead Guy Ale" that I found online. It was far too dark and sweet...but still delicious. I believe that I also did not have crystal 15 - more likely crystal 20, or a half pound of Crystal 10 and a half pound of Crystal 8.

Mash at 150° F (65° C) for 60 minutes.
Sparge at 175° F (79° C) to collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of preboil wort.
Boil 90 minutes, adding hops and whirlfloc when indicated. 5.5 gallons at end of boil. (Changed to 60 mins)
Cool to 60° F (16° C) and pitch yeast.
Ferment at 60° F (16° C) until fermentation is complete, then siphon into secondary.
Allow to remain at cold storage temperatures 40-50° F (9-10° C) for two to four weeks, then package and condition.

I added Melanoiden to get that decoction simulated taste. Might only need half this amount? Made a test batch with Cara Munich III - we'll see how that one turns out.

I made this with M44...and while it wasn't Dead Guy Ale - it was a fantastic Bock beer. Very enjoyable.
