Didn't you start a thread about this one a little while back? Looks good, I still love the name:rockin:

Yep, back when I was looking for critiques on the recipe. It's on tap now, and I can't say I'd change anything at this stage. I'm sending a couple out in a swap so I'm hoping to get some in-depth reviews.

Word. :rockin:

pumped this into brewsmith!

what is dark crystal?

i put in crystal 60 and got the right OG and what not....

Dark Crystal is a British malt, usually in the neighborhood of 60-80L.

Would using Crystal 60 be an ok sub?

I think that will be just fine, though 80L would work nicely too. Brew on!

The yeast choice is very important here; you want something clean with lower attenuation.

Scottish ales are all about the malt, so no flavor or aroma additions or fruity yeast strains.

cool i checked MDHB and they dont have dark crystal either :(

woudl WLP 028 be ok?

When are you planning on brewing this? I could bring you a pound of dark crystal to the brew day, if you wish.

WLP028 is the equivalent.

I dont have a planned date.... but I make a solid goal of keeping my next 3-4 batches planned out. since MDHB (the closest) is 35 min from me.

I was hoping to have it for summer (everything else I brew turns out imperial like my 6.4% imperial wit) sO I need something to enjoy on a nice 95^ and humid DC day!
