Does anyone have a recipe for Bass Ale - it might be called Bass Pale Ale. Had some last time I was O/S and it went down well

White Labs yeast WLP023 Burton Ale is sourced from the great Bass brewery. No matter how you brew this beer, ensure you are using this yeast.

I would also use distilled water then add salts to match the local water at the Bass Brewey. It is distinct and it is a standard also.

Mr Dan is correct indeed.
Burton water is big with sulphates. Sulphur is enhancing hop bitterness and is very big part of the distinctive taste which is being Burton Ale.

It does not matter so much for extract or kit brewing but please to remember that beer is mostly water, so the goodness of water is important. Even Vishnu could not be make a Urquell style Pilsner in Burton, nor brew Bass in Pilzn without adjusting water salts.

See the 'Water' chapter in 'Homebrewing Vol 1' by A Korzonas. It has a fair bit of detail on adjusting your waters chemistry to suit the style.

From the westbrew recipe sheet:

Bass style beer
1. Muntons I.P.A. BITTER
2. Brew Blend No. 15
3. Muntons Gold Yeast
4. 10g Goldings Hop Pellets


I'm assuming this is K&K style (ie no boil) and dry-hopped
