If using lager yeast, pitch 1,000B yeast cells (Brewer's Friend calculator), this is 500gm of very thick slurry.

Start Vol = 8.4 gal (68F), 8.75 gal (212F)
Finish Vol = 6.5 gal (68F), 6.77 gal (212F)
(Volume into Fermentor = 6 gal)

Notes: CaCl2 - 10g

Hops for no longer than 45min (to completely avoid astringency).

Otherwise use any top quality pale ale malt augmented for color by 0.5 pounds (approximately 225 grams or about 2 cups) of Briess Victory at 25–30 °L or Weyermann CaraAmber at 23–31 °L.
These malts will also contribute a touch of bready, biscuity flavor to the brew

de-husked Weyermann Carafa Special Type III at 488–563 °L) for color and flavor. Crisp’s roasted and caramel malts are also good choices. Scottish ales are invariably opaque.

lots of yeast slurry but keep the temp low (preferably 13C)

Ale fermentation at this low temperature (10C) keeps the level of esters, higher alcohols and other byproducts of yeast metabolism low, which accounts for the beer’s clean taste

Yeasts used in Scottish ales must also be fairly low attenuators and efficient flocculators so that the fermentation stops at a relatively early stage and some residual sweetness is preserved after the first racking

Heat-exchange immediately to 55 °F (10 °C), aerate and pitch the two packages of yeast (or a starter).

I got 35L of wort at 1.051. Eff = 80%. 28L cooled to 12C, inoculated with plenty of yeast. The rest boiled down to 2L and added on fifth day of fermentation.

Notes: Version of my tried and true mead recipe for some friends who are just learning to brew. This uses 1/3 wildflower to make it more interesting than straight clover honey. I use dry malt extract as a nutrient source and chalk to buffer the pH during fermentation, as I've found this to make my batches very clean and predictable (no stuck fermentations). Typically even a strong mead as this will be very nice to drink in less than 3 months. I try to always use Wyeast Dry Mead as it is very predictable and drops ~100 gravity points, making it easy to achieve the desired final sweetness. This mead will be semi-sweet and should finish around 1.020.

Directions: Bring 3 gallons water plus malt extract to boil, add chalk & irish moss, boil 15 mins, turn off heat, add honey, steep for 10 mins, top off with water to yield full 5 gallons, chill, aerate and pitch yeast.

Notes: In a large soup pot, heat 3.4 quarts (3.2 L) of water to 165 °F (74 °C). Add crushed grains to grain bag. Submerge bag and let grains steep around 154 °F (68 °C) for 45 minutes. While grains steep, begin heating 2.25 gallons (8.5 L) of water in your brewpot. When steep is over, remove 1.1 qts. (1 L) of water from brewpot and add to the "grain tea" in steeping pot. Place colander over brewpot and place steeping bag in it. Pour grain tea (with water added) through grain bag. This will strain out any solid bits of grain and rinse some sugar from the grains. Heat liquid in brewpot to a boil, then stir in dried malt extract, add first charge of hops and begin the 60 minutes boil. With 15 minutes left in boil, add sugar, remaining hops, yeast nutrients and Irish moss. Then turn off heat and stir in liquid malt extract. Stir well to dissolve extract, then resume heating. (Keep the boil clock running while you stir.) At the end of the boil, cool wort and transfer to fermenter. Add water to make 5 gallons (19 L), aerate wort and pitch yeast. Ferment at 70 °F (21 °C). Rack to secondary when fermentation is complete. Bottle a few days later, when beer falls clear.

Notes: Recipe is based on extract recipe obtained from Reddit as well as the description from Mother Earth's website. Note that for this 1 gallon batch. I used about 3/4 of a vanilla bean and found it could've used more. Vanilla bean was split, scrapped, chopped, and all tossed right into the primary (or using a hop bag if desired).

Personal Touches:
1) Real recipe uses Warrior hops - using Glacier to lighten cohumulone.
2) Mother Earth states 18 IBU, 6.0 SRM, and 5.0 ABV (1.048 OG & 1.011 FG). Slight variations to this are present in this recipe.
3) This recipe pushes for slightly more body than the 'Medium Body' advertised. This is done via higher mash temperature and SO4/Cl ratio of less than 1.
