A Scottish 70/. Goes down way too easy. Drinking this makes me realise I don't brew enough Scottish ales.
 
I dont have a pic :( But im currently drinking this and its tasting fantastic! The whole batch was bottle conditioned and allthough I love my kegs, you get a much better 'natural' feeling carbonation with bottles.

2.1kg Rye Malt
1.2kg Munich
1kg ADM Pils
330g Cara-Munich II
45g Carafa I
60 : 25g Pacifica 4.5%
FO : 23g Czech Saaz 2.5%
WB-06
 
AG#6 Ordinary Bitter

90% Marris Otter
6% Crytal
4% Wheat

31 IBUs, Target, EKG and Styrian Goldings
Wyeast 1968 London ESB

Drinking very nicely after a couple weeks in the bottle. Not as clear as I'd hoped but very happy with it
 
and the last of a D Saaz Pale Ale
(actually Wey. Pils + little light crystal then D Saaz all the way + clean ale yeast :) )

As always Peter, some fine looking beers, care to share the recipe for the brown ale, that one looks particularly nice.

Agree wholeheartedly with Andrew's sentiments Peter. I have never brewed a Brown Ale & your recipe would be a great starting point if you care to share.

The only major difference is the OG. Through trial & error I stumbled onto this recipe. I use it to brew my 60, 70 and 80 shilling beers and the only thing I vary is the amounts to hit the OGs I want.

1% chocolate malt
1% brown malt
0.5% peat smoked malt
15% munich
20% medium to dark crystal
62.5% pale 2 row

Shoot for 15-20 IBU from a single bittering addition no matter whether you're trying for a 60, 70 or 80 shilling.

...And the most important part: either wyeast 1728 or WLP028.

I've also discovered that if I omit the peat smoked malt and increase the brown malt to 4% at the expense of the crystal that this produces a killer brown porter. The IBUs have to be scaled up to about 25 IBU too.

Cheers! :beer:

Just another point, ive read when scaling these to adjust OG is to only adjust the base malt, keep the specialties constant ;)


I'm very tempted to get a scottish under my belt soon too. Interesting looking recipe there NewGuy!
