Ingredients (All Grain, 5 gal)
- 20 lbs
Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.
- .5 lbs
Black Roasted Barley
Black Roasted Barley
Unmalted roasted grain, it is the backbone of many stouts. Imparts a sharp acrid flavor characteristic of dry stouts. Gives "dryness" to a stout or porter ,more so than regular Roasted Barley.

I let it sit on the primary for 2 weeks instead of the normal 1 to try to get some more smokeyness imparted by the Edinburgh ale yeast. It turned out to be a BIG beer. Its down to about 1020 just after the primary and should drop another 10pts after being in the 2nd for a few weeks. It has a VERY small smokeyness which Im not sure is from the yeast or the peated malt. Im definately going to brew this again but will add another 1/4# peated malt.

I bottled it about 3 weeks ago and just tasted it. Wow its a big beer. Its a little hot from fermentation temp being to high. It could use more malt flavor so Im going to pull off a couple gallons of the first runnings and boil them alone while I sparge. Should do the trick. Either way its a pretty good beer.
