Scottish Heavy Scottish Ale 80 Shilling (2nd place HBT Comp)

[sagnew440]

I rebrewed this about two months ago, only as a 60/-. I also boiled down the 1st runnings to 1/4 gal. Still a great beer.

The Nottingham yeast will make a good beer but it will not replace the Wyeast 1728 IMO
Maybe someone out there can make a replacement recommendation.

How about using Wyeast Londan Ale yeast?

According to Mr Malty WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale Yeast is the same as 1728

Sorry, but I am confused. Is this a 5gal or 10gal recipe? Seems like a small grain bill for 10...

 

[cublue]

Hi. Does anyone know if this is for 10gal of 5.5. ? Thanks

 

[pm5k00]

Its for a 10 gallon batch, the batch size is listed in the original post. If your using a mobile app, you can't see some of the recipe information like, batch size, yeast strain, color, FG, etc...

Was looking to try this one out but my equipment is not large enough to handle 10 talon batches. Can I just 1/2 this recipe for 5 talon batch or is thee other alterations to therecipe that I would need to make?

 

[Boar Beer]

Nothing special to look for. Just cut everything in half
enjoy

When do you hop the wort in this recipe? at the beginning of the boil and maintain the boil with the hops for 60 minutes, or at minute 60 of the boil just before flameout? I have seen the timing noted both ways and just would like to be sure since i prefer malty beers to hoppy ones.

If it is adding IBU's then it is at the 60 mark. Most normal notation is for how many minutes it needs to boil with that addition in there. Think of it as 60 minute countdown, at what mark to add them at.

Making this brew this weekend but I am still confused on this.

So I boil it for 60 mins and add the hops on the 60th minute? That doesn't seem right to me, but this is also my first brew.

 

[jmark]

No - when you see hop additions in a recipe with a minutes value, it's normally an indication of how many minutes are LEFT in the boil when you add the hops. So if the recipe calls for x ounces of y hop at 60 minutes, that means to add the hops when there are 60 minutes left to go in the boil (this would mean adding them right away if the boil is just 60 mins long). Likewise a 15 minute addition would be thrown in when there was just 15 minutes left in the boil. Hope that clarifies things and good luck with your brew day.

 

[bondra76]

Thanks jmark that helps immensely. Appreciate it.

could it keep in keg for aging for 2 months??




QUOTE=Boar Beer;1732196]Thanks for the comments. We are just finishing of the last of that batch. It gets better and better over time. So put a few bottles aside for 2-3 months.[/QUOTE]

Yes, it would taste delicious after a couple months in the keg.

 

[bondra76]

Made this as my first brew ever. Really smooth and good. I admittedly screwed up the recipe because I'm a rookie and didn't calculate my water volumes very well, but even as a very light beer this stuff is flavorful.

Thanks for making my first brew a good experience.

 

[Loodachris]

Brewed this a while ago and it's been in the keg for a couple weeks now and first tastes are really really good. I added 2oz of smoked malt but don't really taste it. Should of brewed this and entered it into the home brew competition instead of my milk stout!

 

[pricelessbrewing]

Scaled this down to 1.1G, and had to substitute the yeast. Went to lhbs twice, and they were out of 1728 both times, and only carry wyeast.

Ended up using wyeast 1028 London ale yeast.

 

[ChelisHubby]

is the 10gal a type-o??? dosen't seem like nearly enough grain for 10 gallons.i want to brew this for my next batch but don't want screw it up

His brew rig gets good efficiency but yes it is 10 gallon.

 

[pricelessbrewing]

Bottling this now. Taste is quite sweet with lots of caramel and toffee, FG was 1.017 after a month (my mash temp was probably off, replaced my thermometer since then. Carbed to 2.4 vol because I'm a bad brewer and lost my brew day records of my volume, was aiming for 2.1.

Anything over 1.8 is too high in my books, but then again I am Scottish..
