Recipe: Bass Ale Clone
Per my father's request, we brewed a Bass clone on Saturday evening. Here's the deal:
1 lb Crystal 40L - steeped for 20 minutes at 160, brought to boil
1 lb Dark Brown Sugar
2 Cans John Bull's light extract
1-2 Tablespoons Gypsum
1 oz. Northern Brewer (60 minutes)
1 oz. Fuggles (30 minutes)
Irish Moss (15 minutes)
1/2 oz. Fuggles (5 minutes, steeped for another 10)
White Labs British Ale Yeast (WLP005)
6 gallon carboy so not much blowoff - hopefully this will not result in crappy flavor. Most likely ferment for a few days and then transfer to secondary to reduce impact of foam on top of beer - although it doesn't look that nasty so it might be ok.
Color looks right on and bubbles are fierce and often.

i thought we decided not to do the white labs to save cash...?
glad papa gravel could get involved. and that it wasn't over an open fire, like my dad. that would mean some smokey bass. wait, that sounds delicious.
smokey bass - i like it! my dad dug it, asking all sorts of questions, it was cool. i went white labs mostly because a couple sites i read suggested that and i wanted it to turn out well.
although the cool part is, i bought a thermometer, new blow off tube, and some gypsum and the whole thing came to $54....actually, the computer said $64, but drunk kid working there typed it into the credit card machine wrong. didn't have the heart to tell him.
Money! Silly-drunk-beer-supply-store workers. Too much sauce is not good for anyone, save if it's Thunder Boomer of course
