Notes
I was told that Bonnie Blue Ribbon Kilt Tlter version 1 wasn't authentic enough, but, hey, I like chocolate malt. Anyway, here is a more authentic version. Crush grain. Steep in 1/2 gal. 150*F water 20 minutes in boil bag. Sparge grains with 1 gal. 170*F water. Add 1 gallon water. Bring water to a boil, remove from stove then add syrup, brown sugar and boiling hops. Boil 45 minutes. Add irish moss, finishing hops and liquid smoke for 15 min of boiling. Total boil time = 60 min. Remove from stove and cool 15 minutes. Funnel into primary fermenter and add cool clean water to make 5 gallons (About 2 1/2 gallons water). Cool wort to 80*F, pitch yeast. Ferment 5-7 days. Siphon to secondary fermenter to clear, 5-7 days more. Siphon to another fermentation bottle and lager for 10 days at 52*F. Siphon to priming bucket, prime with 1/2 cup corn sugar and 1/3 cup treacle that has been boiled in 2 cups water and bottle.
