Drafted Dan's House

Step by Step: Make 13 gallons (49 L) of brewing liquor with 100–150 ppm Ca2+ and a slightly lower level of carbonates. If you start with very soft, distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water, use 5 teaspoons of gypsum and 4 teaspoons of chalk for your 13 gallons (49 L). (Yes, Burton-on-Trent's water is harder than this, but you don't need "extra chunky" water for a great clone.) Heat 12.5 quarts (11.8 L) 3.125 Gallons) of water to 163 °F (73 °C). Mash in grains and maize to 152 °F (67 °C) and rest for 1 hour.

DRINKABILITY:
04.25.15 First taste was bitter. Under aged. Stronger after taste.


Collect around 5.5 gallons (21 L) of wort, add brewing liquor to make 6.5 gallons (25 L) and boil for 90 minutes. Add hops, Irish moss and yeast nutrients at times indicated. Cool wort, aerate well and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C).

A trip to Bass's web site led to the inclusion of this clone in this collection. On their site, they mention a "light burnt roast aroma" to Bass. Michael Jackson claims that Bass uses a single addition of Challenger and North-down hops. He's probably right, but I think two Northern Brewer additions capture the minty flavor and aroma of Bass's hop presence in a homebrew clone.
