Recipe for "Scotch Ale"
Scotch Ale
Category Scottish Ale (Recipe Type Extract) Fermentables : 6.6 lb Ireks munich light LME
2.0 lb Ireks munich malt (10L ?)
0.5 lb M&F crystal malt (60L)
0.5 lb Ireks crystal malt (20L)
3.0 oz M&F chocolate malt (350L)
4.0 oz white wheat malt (2L)
2.0 oz Hugh Baird peat smoked malt (2L)
4.5 oz corn sugar (primimg)
Hops
1.0 oz East Kent Goldings (whole, 60 min boil)
1.0 oz Fuggles (whole, 15 min boil)
Other
1 tsp Irish moss (rehydrated, 15 min boil)
Yeast Wyeast 1338 (european ale 1 qt starter)
Procedure - mashed all the grains in 4 qts of 156F water for 1 hr
- sparged with 4 qts of 170F water
- SG of runnings: 1.036 in ~7 qts
- added LME, made volume up to 3 gal, boiled for 1 hr
- chilled with immersion chiller, aerated, made volume up to 5 gal, aerated some more, pitched 1
qt starter
- fermented at 65 - 68F I use a grain bag from Williams Brewing (800-759-6025) that is made to fit inside a bucket type
lauter tun. It also fits perfectly inside my 3 gallon SS kettle.
To do the mash on my stove, I just heat up the mash water to ~165F (in my kettle) then drop in
the grain bag containing the crushed grains. Stir real well, let it sit for a minute, then check the
temp. If its to low (which it will be) either add small amounts of boiling water (1 cup at a time, stir,
let it sit for a minute, then check the temp) or add heat with the stove burner on medium heat
while gently stirring constantly. After you hit the mash temp, cover it up and let it sit for 1 hour. At
the end of the 1 hour, I lift the grain bag just above the surface of the wort and sparge by pouring
the sparge water over the grains gently with a measuring cup. As you can see, my mash setup/technique is pretty simple and does’nt require a lot of extra
equipment. I’m not trying to get the max possible extraction from the grains, only the flavor/body
that was missing before I started doing these partial mashes. Since this setup/technique produces wort that is rather cloudy with grain particles, I’ve often
wondered if it will lead to some astringency in the finished beer.
