Some time ago I read a beer description for a new Brew Pub in Minnesota...the idea stuck with me: a rich dark session beer with very low ABV. I found the description:
Pubstitute
Pour Decisions Brewing Company, Roseville Minnesota, * Scottish Session ale, 2.9% Abv
Scottish Pubstitute pours a bright mahogany with a billowy head; you'll find notes of chewy English biscuits, figs, plums, dark caramel, toffee with a hint of roast dryness.
Here is my first shot at a clone based on the description...any suggestions:
5 gallon all grain batch
3lb12 oz Golden Promise
12 oz Biscuit Malt
8 oz Special B
8 oz crystal 60
4 oz carapils/dextrine
1 oz british Roasted Barley
.25 oz Bramling Cross @ 60
.75 oz Bramling Cross @ 10
WLP028 Scottish Ale Yeast
should be 1.030 OG 14.9 IBU's and just under 3% ABV
Suggestions? Any worries brewing to such a low ABV?
