All-Grain - Scottish Ale 80 Shilling (2nd place HBT Comp) - Page 2

Its 16.75 lbs of grain (if you read the thread you can see that I accidentally omitted 1 lb of Vienna malt) for a 1.052 beer assuming 87% efficiency. If your efficiency is the 70s, add another 2 to 3 lbs of base malt to make up the difference.

I made brewed this about 2.5 months ago. My efficincy jumped up to 85% for this batch so it's out of style for the 80/-, but man is it tasty. I actually had a fellow homebrewer (he's been brewin since 97) tell me it is a competition worthy beer, and that was after only 2 weeks in the bottle. Thanks for the recipe, definitly going to be one of my regular beers.

I'm glad this recipe was a success for you as well! Now that I'm brewing commercially (Squam Brewing), I might end up making this beer at some point and selling it. I just need to think of a good name that ties into the Squam Lake theme I have going and get a label approved. Thanks for reminding me!

Jock McSquamlake Scottish Ale. (Mc = "Son of")

This recipe is the way my bitters are heading as my tastes change more and more to the malty side. Looks nice!!

So you would add 1lb of Vienna to this? I know you said you missed that in the original recipe.

Yes, I would add the vienna to your grain bill. If there was a way for me to edit the recipe on the first post I would have done so, but unfortunately it can't be done (at least not that I'm aware of). Happy brewing

I just got my scoresheets back from the competition I entered this into. I got a 42! Needless to say I'm happy with that. I made it to the mini-BOS but apparently there were some spot on scottish ales.

Congrats! I'm glad the recipe worked out for you as well as it did for me. I really need to make this beer again...
