Notes

When I made my 6th iteration of Dragon's Milk, I again had 25 lbs of spent grain. What would happen if I rang out all the residual sugar, and made a 5 gallon beer - what would I get? DRAGON PISS!

And you know what? I LIKED DRAGON PISS! It's a nice beer, reminiscent of Dragon's Flagon, without the booze. (Besides the 10 hour brew day...) It was nice to get a second beer from spent grain - I used the Parti Gyle method. I didn't add any new grain.

So, I am attempting to make it now, without the Dragon's Milk clone's spent grain.

I want a 1.060 beer using the same grain. 60% of original profile. The HBU 472 is optional - it's trying to get a "barrel aged" note.
