Bay Area Brew Crew Best Bitter Battle Brew (BABCBBBB) (all-grain)

by Mike Winslow

This is a special beer that was brewed for a club competition/experiment. Everyone brewed the same recipe and compared results. Differences resulted from differing hop schedules, brewing systems, and techniques.

3 lbs. Hugh Baird British Pale Malt (2-row)
1 lb. American 60L Crystal Malt

.5 lb CaraPils (Dextrin) Malt

Mash : 153°F till conversion
