Ingredients (All Grain1.20 gal)

  • 2.5 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.

  • 1.5 lbs Belgian Cara-Pils

  • .9 oz East Kent Goldings - 5.0 AA% whole; boiled 90 min

  • 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

produce a stiff mash at 66°C (150°F). Maintain 66±1°C (150±2°F) for three hours then raise the temperature to 77°C (170°F) for 30 minutes. Sparge slowly with water at 82-85°C (180-185°F) to obtain the required volume. Boil with hops for 1 ½ hours. Cool. Strain and rinse the hops. Adapted from Country Beermaker / Old British Beers. Mature for at least 4 months.
