I set out trying to come close to Samuel Adams Stock Ale and still keep the recipe as simple as possible. I was quite pleased with this beer and have brewed this one several times. The first time I tried it , it left me wanting a little bit more alcohol bite to it, so I added the 1/2 lb dried malt. I've had orig. gravities from 1.040 to 1.048 with this beer, so the 1.045 is an approxamation. This is a beer for hopheads!
