So you had pretty good luck with this recipe ?

Here is what I came up with taking 1/2 of your recipe:

The all grain version turned out great and is in my top 10 for sure. I did have to let the yeast settle for a while, that kolsch yeast would not flocculate out. I have NOT brewed the extract version so I cant tell you if it will turn out the same. I use beersmith and took the original recipe and converted it to an extract version.

If you end up brewing this let us know how it turned out.
 
Wait. It's a "90 Shilling" ale and it's not a Scottish Ale?

Two things if this is true. First, I call BS on calling it a 90 Shilling Ale. And second, my advice is not so useful. But if this was a Scottish Ale I would suggest a boil down of the first gallon of runnings down to half or even a quarter of the original volume. This will contribute the very powerful caramelly malt character of the typical Scottish Ale.

Had a bottle last night, and yes it it absolutely not a 90/- anything. Very tasty, but completely misnamed. I also detect some hop flavor in this brew. I have to admit the name annoys me. Why not make a IPA and call it O'dufus' Brown Ale? How can you interpret a style by brewing a completely different style? Peyote? Just doesn't sit with me. I digress, hope your beer is great. :)

Whose all grain brew did you use?
