Ingredients (Extract3.00 gal)

  • 0.42 lbs Crystal Malt 40°L

    Crystal Malt 40°L

  • 0.20 lbs Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess

    Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess

    Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • 0.53 lbs Roasted Barley

    Roasted Barley

    Sweet, grainy, coffee flavor and a red to deep brown color. For porters and stouts.

  • 2.31 lbs Dry Light; Muntons

    Dry Light; Muntons

    Used as the base for a wide variety of styles of beers, including lager, pale ales, bitters, and export bitters. Contains no colored malts.

  • 2.31 lbs Dry Extra Light; Muntons

    Dry Extra Light; Muntons

    Contains no colored malts or unmalted products; the light color of this product is achieved by using low processing temperatures and low-colored raw materials.

  • 1.2 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Fuggle

    Mild. Mainly used for finishing and dry hopping especially pale ales, porters, and stouts. Aroma is mild and pleasant, spicy, and soft.

  • 0.30 oz East Kent Goldings - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 15 min

    East Kent Goldings

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • BrewTek CL-200 Scottish Ale

    BrewTek CL-200 Scottish Ale

    Use for classic Scottish heavys, 90's- or strong ales. This yeast produces a soft, fruity malt profile with a subtle woody, oakey ester profile. A mild, mineral like dryness in the finish makes this a very complex strain.

Brewing it Right Now!

We had to substitute 1728 Scottish Ale yeast for the BrewTek yeast, and we also had to substitute Roasted English Barley for Roasted Barley. Smells great and can't wait to taste it! I also think we added a few oz more of each type of malt, but that was more by accident than design. Now the hardest part of brewing - waiting to try it...

"Killians clone" is highly inaccurate

Looks like a fun recipe, but .53lbs of roasted barley will make this taste more like a porter and a 7.8% alcohol content dwarfs Killian's. Not saying that this won't taste good, just an inaccurate recipe if you really wanted a Killian's clone.

Thanks to you, I'm the neighborhood hero! This beer won't last long, as it's a huge hit. What an awesome look, aroma, and taste. One of my favorite beers ever.
