Two laughin ladies Strong Scotch
Strong Scotch Ale • All Grain • 5 gal
This tuned out well, for my first attempt. Let it age!!!!! it's ok but astringent at 2 months. It's great after 6 months. I feel like there's room for improvement on this one. I'm going to try de-bittered black malt the next time. Enjoy.

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.

Pronounced Caramel, Slight Burnt Sugar, Raisiny, Prune. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt.

Sorry about the details

I didn't put in the details use it as a start. Make a LARGE yeast start. Bump the yeast package up at least twice 2 quarts of cloud yeast. Mash at 152 degrees. Mash for 100 minutes. Boil for 2 hours. Collect about 7 gallons set aside a half gallon of clear malt add the brown sugar to this and boil lightly to caramelize for about 20 minutes. Add the last half hour of the boil. Ferment at 65 degrees keep it consistent. Keep the secondary at 55-60. The lower the better. Just for fun do another run on this and make a 2 penny ale reuse the hops as well.
