Doggie Claws
Hair of the Dog Doggie Claws. Recipe from brew-monkey.com
Tried to approximate as closely as possible the method
quoted in the article, and used quotations where taken directly
from the article. Had to guess on efficiency. IBU's looked
ridiculously high (>200) so I lowered the boil volume to only 6
gallons to get closer to the quoted 70 IBU.
