Anyone ever done a Scottish Export brew? I am aiming to brew something similar to a Caledonian 80/- From a Protz book (Good Beer Guide) he lists the grain ingredients as Pale malt, Amber, Crystal, Wheat and Chocolate without giving any more specific breakdown. It is hopped with E.K. Goldings and Fuggles.
Given all this I have been playing around trying to get something that seems reasonable. So far I have:
O.G. 1044 20L
4.0KG (84%) JW Traditional Pale malt
0.4KG (8%) TF Amber malt
0.2KG (4%) TF Crystal malt
0.1KG (2%) JW Wheat malt
0.05KG (1%) TF Chocolate malt
20G Goldings (4.5% AAU) @ 60 mins
20G Fuggles (5% AAU) @ 30 mins
Any suggestions? Too much amber?
