combo wee heavy
Strong Scotch Ale • All Grain • 3.50 gal
I called this "combo wee heavy" because I combined two different wee heavy 'ideas' into one beer. This is a fantastic beer with just a hint of smoke and lots O' malt character and alcohol notes. warming and complex..yum. I would mash this at a higher temp for next time, maybe 158F, to make a more dextrinous wort.

White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale
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
I added 1oz. of steamed medium American Oak Chips to the secondary. The key here is Kettle caramelization and a long, cool primary ferment (3 weeks @ 55F) then a long cool secondary (8 weeks @ 60F) to produce a malty beer.
