WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Clone of McEwan's Scottish Ale - ABV target ~ 8% ABV

Make yeast starter at least 12 hours prior to brewing.

Brewing OG = 1.090
Ferment 7 days at 72º
Rack to secondary and add 1 oz. East Kent Goldings SG = 1.028
Ferment 35 more days at 72º
Bottle SG = 1.022 ABV = 8.8%

Make INVERT SUGAR 12 hours prior to brewing - recipe:
½ lb. pure cane sugar ("Turbinado" Sugar is best)
1/8 tsp citric acid
3/4 cup water
Dissolve sugar, add citric acid, and simmer at low heat for 20 minutes to 2 hours.

Steep/Mash grains for 30 min @ 156º Sparge @ 170º.
Add 6 lbs amber DME at boil.
Add 1 oz Kent Goldings at boil.
Add 3.3 lbs dark LME @ 30 minutes.
Add 8 oz. Invert sugar at 15 min.
Add Irish Moss at 15 min.
Add 1 oz. Styrian Goldings at 5 min.

Appearance: A blackish brown body with a slight reddish hue when viewed in front of a light and a pleasant dense tan head

Aroma: Caramelly malt with hints of cherry and spice playing softly in the background.

Taste: Big, sweet malt flavors immediately fill the mouth with dark fruit and vanilla behind it, and a slight tang coming through on the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, thick and almost oily (but not in a bad way!) with small tingling bubbles. You can feel a bit of heat from the alcohol.

Drinkability: This is a sipper for sure.
