I think pale malt-based extract is going to be more appropriate than pils-based.

Oh, right. I was just looking at the lighter pilsen color.


How about NB Gold LME?

Or would a DME be better? I live right by NB so I usually figure that the LME I get from them is very fresh.

I'm looking to brew this weekend.

I'd drink it, best of luck!

With bitterness <20IBU, it will be not noticeable at all, like in mine 80/-, which has ~22IBU. Malt sweetness will hide it. I'd add more hops, just to get ~25IBU.

Anyway, WY1728 will do most to your beer to give it "Scottish character". Just don't forget to add roasted barley (1.5oz is enough).

I am doing a late addition 3.15#@60 and 3.15#@15, so I think I'll get more IBUs than the recipe implies.

Slight edit:

I used 5# light DME in place of the LME. 2#@60, 3#@15.
