Notes: Clone of McEwan's Scottish Ale - ABV target ~ 8% ABV
Make yeast starter at least 12 hours prior to brewing.
Brewing OG = 1.090
Ferment 7 days at 72º
Rack to secondary and add 1 oz. East Kent Goldings SG = 1.028
Ferment 35 more days at 72º
Bottle SG = 1.022 ABV = 8.8%
Make INVERT SUGAR 12 hours prior to brewing - recipe:
½ lb. pure cane sugar ("Turbinado" Sugar is best)
1/8 tsp citric acid
3/4 cup water
Dissolve sugar, add citric acid, and simmer at low heat for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Steep/Mash grains for 30 min @ 156º Sparge @ 170º.
Add 6 lbs amber DME at boil.
Add 1 oz Kent Goldings at boil.
Add 3.3 lbs dark LME @ 30 minutes.
Add 8 oz. Invert sugar at 15 min.
Add Irish Moss at 15 min.
Add 1 oz. Styrian Goldings at 5 min.
Appearance: A blackish brown body with a slight reddish hue when viewed in front of a light and a pleasant dense tan head
Aroma: Caramelly malt with hints of cherry and spice playing softly in the background.
Taste: Big, sweet malt flavors immediately fill the mouth with dark fruit and vanilla behind it, and a slight tang coming through on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, thick and almost oily (but not in a bad way!) with small tingling bubbles. You can feel a bit of heat from the alcohol.
Drinkability: This is a sipper for sure.

Notes: This is a great grain bill for an Irish Red ale also. This yeast had a really cool kreausen during the primary fermentation. It looked like brain tissue. I never have seen anything like it. |

Notes: 5/20/12--first use of Brewers Friend
This version has a different hop list; the actual hops used fit the author's intended type but not amount (I used less). Also, this is a Partial mash instead of extract. Basically, I used half the DME and calculated the gravity points from the missing DME and made it up with an appropriately calculated amount of pale malt. The original recipe mashed a pound of pale malt. The gravity points from this step were also accounted for. I also included a pound of Munich in the mashing to make up for a lower amount of amber DME (which I understand contains Munich). In the end I'm not sure why my predicted/actual gravity came out so much higher. The original recipe used the following for fermentables (in addition to the crystal and molasses):
8lbs Amber LME
1lb briess two row pale
Author's measured extract OG was 1043. Mine measured as Brewer's Friend predicted: 1054.
FG: 1.010
Pitched yeast am of 5/21 at 72F
Transfered to keg June 10
6/14--good carb. nice amount of roasted flavor/aroma. Cinamon and molases are extremely subtle. |

Notes: SG was way off at the end. Must have gotten much better efficiency than I expected. Split batch. 5 gallons with and SG of 1.060. Maybe 1.5-2 gallons with an SG of 1.042. Unfortunately lots of headroom in the latter one.
Ended up adding 3/4 of a package of 05 yeast to the two batches to be sure pitch was sufficient. |
