Description
Draught Bass is one of those beers that will forever live in memory as a great drink of its time, it used to be the best selling cask beer and one that I used to drink all the time.
There are many forms that it has had, and lots of information about it online when you start to research for a recipe. There are also so many variations it hard to decide what to include in terms of hops, yeast, malt sugars.
Well we’ve come up with what we believe is a decent representation to the beer as we remember is when enjoying it in the local, and one that works really well on a beer engine.
