Trout Ale

Recipe I whipped up using extra grains, extract and hops in the fridge. Added molasses and brown sugar to try to get a Bass Ale taste.

tried to mash at 155F, couldnt keep the temp high enough and ended up at more like 150F. (stupid cheap cooler!) About 90 minutes total mash time (including 15 minute 170F mash-out) Overkill for a mere 2 lbs grain? screw it!
