Abstract Bastage Ale

Ok, this is an experiment i'm looking forward to. I've conjured up the recipe by combining several recipes for Arrogant Bastard Ale, Double Bastard Ale and various Barley wine to create a extract based recipe for a nice, strong ale.


Ingredients:
Coopers Light Malt Extract -- 10#
Wheat DME -- 1#
Dark Brown Sugar -- 1# 2#
DME -- 1# (didn't have enough brown sugar)

2-Row -- 1#
Crystal 40L -- 1#
Dark Munich Malt -- 0.75#
Special B -- 0.25#
Biscuit -- 0.25#
Aromatic -- 0.25#

Magnum (Bittering - 60 min.) -- 1 oz.
Columbus (Bittering - 50 min.) -- 0.5 oz.
Cascade (Flavoring - 60 min.) -- 0.5 oz.
Irish Moss (Clear - 15 min.) -- 2 tbsp
Cascade (Dry Hop) -- 1.5 oz.

White Labs British Ale yeast
White Labs High Gravity Ale yeast

Procedure (planned):

  1. Steep the grains in 2 gallons for 30 minutes

  2. Add extract, DME and sugar, bring to boil

  3. Begin 90 minute boil

  4. Add Magnum w/ 60 minutes remaining

  5. Add Columbus w/ 50 minutes remaining

  6. Add Cascade w/ 30 minutes remaining

  7. Add Irish Moss w/ 15 minutes remaining

  8. Let cool, then aerate and pitch with British Ale yeast

  9. 4-5 days later, move to secondary fermenter and re-pitch with High Gravity Ale yeast

  10. 2 weeks later move to keg and refrigerate, check once a week to see how it develops
