I've been wanting to make a scottish ale, so I looked around the recipe database, and even download a homebrew podcast that talked about scottish ales.
So this is the rough average of the various recipes and the podcast.
Not sure what the shilling count will be until I take a gravity reading, but given my system's efficiency, I expect a starting gravity of around 1.044 making it a 60- or 70-shilling.
8.0 lbs 2-Row pale malt
1.0 lb American Crystal 40L
0.5 lb American Crystal 120L
0.5 lb Honey malt
0.5 lb Munich malt
0.15 lb (~2.5 oz) roasted barley
0.05 lb (~0.8 oz) chocolate malt
1.0 oz, Kent Goldings, 60-min
Safale ale yeast 04
UPDATE: Brewing went went well. I took the middle 2-qts of wort and reduced it to one 1-qt (at least that what left after I managed to let it boil over in the kitchen while I was outside montoring the big-boil...ooops.)
I'm still amazed how little dark-malts (120L, chocolate and roasted malts) is take to really darken the color.
Starting OG (post-boil, pre-pitch) was 1.048, so I guess this is a 75/-ish shilling beer.
