Batch Sparge withe 4.34 gal fof water at 168.0 F

Notes: This is one big beer at nearly 8%. This beer is fairly crisp and possibly a little overhopped. It's too much for a dopplebock, but I didn't have any style guidleines for a high gravity alt so we made them up. It has a deep alcohol warming taste on the end. If I could find a better fermentation control to keep that from happening, it would be a great beer. In the end, it is very good and really knocks the socks off. I plan on modifying this again to be a little more malty and only weigh in around 6.5-7% ABV.
