6 oz chocolate malt
Hops:
1 oz galena 13.1% 60 minutes (use perle if you have it)

Make a 1.5 gallon starter with 3 lbs DME ahead of time
Mash type: decoction (a double infusion would work too)
30 minutes 144F
30 minutes 154F
O.G. of 10 gallons wort: 1.062
O.G. of 1.5 gallons starter: 1.084 (I fermented the starter cool, and used the liquid)
estimated total O.G. 1.065

I think ol' Johann would approve, as anybody who had twenty kids would need a nice strong beer every once in a while!
