Export Scotch Heather
Scottish Export • All Grain • 19.50 L
This is a residual style Scotch ale flavoured with heather tips. The color of the beer is intended to be red-purple, so 1lb of Carared is used. Since it is a residual style, the malt profile is not optimized. I prefer more biscuit, less honey.

Irish Moss - Boil for 15 min. (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Danstar Windsor
Danstar Windsor
Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).
Notes
Add 1/12 tsp of campden powder to both mashing and sparging water. Add 1 tsp of gypsum to mashing water. 1 step temperature mashing at 67C for 90 min., with mash-out at 75.6C for 10 min. The actually used yeast was Brewceller's English yeast. Brewed on 3/19/16. Collected 20.00 litters for the primary fermentation. OG was 1.060.
