Recipe Notes
mention a “light burnt roast aroma” to Bass. The next day, I grabbed a bottle from my local
supermarket. I searched for the roast aroma and you know what? It’s there. I also noticed how Bass’s
color has a distinct copper shade to it, suggesting a small addition of dark grain. 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. This clone is for the bottled version of Bass Pale Ale available in the U.S.
Ingredients
7.0 lbs. (3.2 kg) 2-row pale ale malt
2.0 lbs. (0.91 kg) flaked maize
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) crystal malt (60 °L)
0.75 oz. (21 g) roasted barley (300 °L)
8.0 AAU Northern Brewer hops (60 mins) (0.89 oz./25 g of 9% alpha acids)
2.0 AAU Northern Brewer hops (15 mins) (0.22 oz./6.3 g of 9% alpha acids)
1 tsp. Irish moss (15 mins)
1/8 tsp. yeast nutrients (15 mins)
White Labs WLP023 (Burton Ale) yeast (1.25 qt./~1.25 L yeast starter)
0.75 cups corn sugar (for priming)
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) of
water to 163 °F (73 °C). Mash in grains and maize to 152 °F (67 °C) and rest for 1 hour. 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).
