Bottling a Hot Scotchy

[ericmsteen]

A really interesting post on Beervana about Hot Scotchy's and a call to have US brewers work with bars to have them more commonplace: http://beervana.blogspot.com/2010/11/greatest-beverage-in-world-hot-scotchy.html

The basic idea is that you take part of your unhopped wort runnings from your mash and throw in a dollop of Scotch while the wort is fresh and warm.

My question to you all is whether or not there may be a way to preserve this drink in a bottle somehow? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks eric. I didn't know that this had a name for it. What I do is take my Pre-boil gravity reading and after sampling I add scotch and sip while boiling. I've noticed that my pre boil samples are getting larger though. I never thought about bottling it.

If you wanted to give it a try I would just bottle the wort without the scotch added. When you wanted one just heat it up and add the scotch. If you added the scotch before you could boil off all the alcohol.

Of course this is pre-boil so their still may be bacteria and a lot of sugar. Could be dangerous. Maybe, boil for 15 minutes and then bottle or maybe freeze the wort.
