Doug's Scotch Ale - Extract
Scottish Export 80/- • Extract • 5 gal
Developed this recipe for a friend who loves Scotch Ales, but hates buying them retail. Took a couple to a local micro-brew, and the brewer liked it so much he made some for his customers! They liked it so much he didn't have it long. This is a very malty, big beer. Fantastic hop flavor in the background, malt up front, and a whisper of smoke somewhere in there.

White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale
Scotland is famous for its malty, strong ales. This yeast can reproduce complex, flavorful Scottish style ales. This yeast can be an everyday strain, similar to WLP001. Hop character is not muted with this strain, as it is with WLP002.
Notes
Disolve extract in warm water, bring to boil and add hops per schedule. At end of 60 minute boil cool wort quickly, when it reaches 80 degrees pitch yeast. Primary ferment between 63 - 70 degrees for one week, then rack to secondary for 2 weeks. Prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Condition in bottle for at least a week.
