Bass American Style

Description:

Here’s one that’s not too bad…you can modify it to make it more authentic, I’m sure.

Ingredients:

• 7 pounds American Two-Row (the “American” style, remember!)
• 1 pound Caravienne (substitute light crystal malt, etc.)
• 1 pound Brown Sugar
• 1 oz. EKG (5.0%) 60 minutes
• 1/2 oz. EKG (5.0%) 30 minutes
• 1/2 oz. EKG (5.0) 5 minutes
• 2 teaspoons Irish Moss, 30 minutes
• Wyeast #1028

Procedure:

Mash in 2.25 gallons of 176F water. Temperature should stabilize at 153F. Hold temperature for two hours. Add 1.25 gallons boiling water for mashout.

Sparge with enough water to get 7 gallons of runnings. After boil is controlled (read: stops boiling over) begin 60 minute boil.

Like the earlier post said, Wyeast #1028 is best, but I’ve used #1098 with no problems, either. If you want it hoppier, dry hop in the secondary.
