Hey guys I am looking to do a nice subtle Partial-Mash Scotch Ale brewed with heather tips...and I was curious if you could once again give me some pointers...I have not done this style of beer yet and have been just getting familiar with the styles, history, and getting familiar with recipes that are out there...I want to do a small twist with something goldish/copperish/reddish with a hint of smokiness and floral/honey...can you please give me some pointers on this rough recipe I have going since I am not sure if this will even work since it seems a little out there...thanks appreciate it! Here is what I have so far...
