Kilt Lifter Scotch Style Ale

[MississippiSlim]

Had some of this over NYE. Really liked it but not sure where to start to make something similar. Would a recipe for a Strong Scottish ale be about right? Anybody familiar with this brew?

Okay so I did a little searching and found this. Now how would I go about making it into an extract recipe...Yes I am a noob!

Moylans Kiltlifter Scottish Ale Clone

This recipe is based on the grain bill emailed to me from Moylans brewery in Novato, California. I think it was a good first attempt at recreating their awesome scottish ale, but it likely lacks some malty/caramel characteristics present in Moylans version

Crystal malt 70L- 10oz
Crystal malt 120L- 10oz
Vienna Durst- 8oz
Munich- 8oz
Special B- 5oz
carapils- 8oz

Mash Schedule: 153 degrees for 1 hr
Mash out at 170 for 5 min

Fly sparge with 168 degree water
collected 6.5 gallons pre-boil

Boil Schedule:

Total Time: 70 min
1st addition at 10 min: 1.5oz Kent Goldings (4-6%)
2nd addition at 55 min: 0.5oz Kent Goldings (4-6%)


Yeast: White Labs 001- California Ale yeast

"but it likely lacks some malty/caramel characteristics present in Moylans version"

it also looks like it may be missing some ABV

IIRC, Kilt Lifter is 8-10%
