3rd AG brew for me was the best and was a Scottish Ale (St. Andrews Clone). First two I had a cheap thermometer and ended up brewing at way too low a temperature making the beer like roasted barley water.
I have had many a temptation to drink flat beer because the initial taste was spot on. Just think if it's good now just wait for the carbonation and a week or so's rest in the bottles will do. Making a Wit this weekend I think.

Awesome! Heard they were thinking of bringing it back but, from what I had read they had not done that yet. Well that is good news but, I still cannot drink it without a plane ticket so I'm still going to try to replicate it. Now at least I have some better descriptions.
Hey Guys,
Trying to revive a brew from my home town that's been dead for quite sometime. My Dad has talked a long time about this beer being close to Newcastle Brown Ale but, that it was much smoother and had more of a head on it. Since I have never actually tried the beer it makes it hard...
Added about a pound and a half of light brown sugar. I harvested some yeast off the starter and have another batch going just in case this one sticks. If it doesn't get amazingly dry it won't kill me but would like to get it around 1.025. Started out around 1.090. Would it be wise to wait...
