    I am looking for a good Scottish 60 or 70 recipe. My dad, who is Scottish, has retired and we are throwing a surprise party for him. I have BCS so if anyone has input on those recipes that would be great too. I searched and found a bunch but they don't always have reviews of the finished product. There didn't seem to be like a preferred one like EdWort's Pale Ale for example. My only plans so far are to use Golden Promise as a base, WLP028 yeast, I will probably caramelize the first runnings, and this will be kegged. Thank you for any help!

    This one was a huge hit. The two things that are on the harder side to find are the Carabrown Malt (Briess) and Wyeast's Yorkshire Ale 1469. If you need substitutes, try a darkish crystal for the carabrown and a scottish ale strain for the 1469. I just liked the breadiness of the yorkshire strain.

    6 Gal batch
    OG: 1037
    FG: 1011
    75% Eff.
    IBU 14.9
    SRM 12.6

    6# Optic or Maris Otter
    10 oz. Carabrown
    10 oz. Special Roast
    8 oz. Honey Malt
    4 oz. Pale Chocolate

    1 oz. EKG (5.8%) @ 30 min.

    Pitch a starter of Wyeast 1469

    Thanks, did you do a carmelization of the wort by boiling down?

    Nope, I don't bother when I have the caramel and honey malts.

    I'd do it. I made one with a combo of Golden Promise, Mild Malt and a hint of Roasted Barley for color. Boilded a gallon of the first runnings. Turned out great.
