#1 Bascom Brown Ale - burned crap - move on

In theory - a smooth, moderately sweet, nut brown ale of low hop bitterness and soft character.

In reality - a scorched ale that was tossed down the drain after 4 weeks of bottle aging.

The LHBS told me a "tip" about putting a cover of a pot on the bottom of the pot while brewing to keep the wort from burning.

All this did was keep the hops trapped so they could REALLY burn.

ANY WAY
The brew's ingredients

Pale Malt Extract 6lb
Crystal 60L 1 lb
Chocolate, Buscuit or Brown Malt 4oz (I guess they could not make up their minds)

Bittering hops 1.00 oz 60 min - (it's all I know about them)
EK Goldings 0.50 oz 60 min
EK Goldings 0.25 oz 12 min
EK Goldings 0.25 oz 3 min

Wyeast -not a clue what it was and I don't care.

Move along.
