Notes

This is not a Scottish ale. I know that. This is a clone of a beer made by Bert Grant in Yakima, WA, in the 80s-90s. He’s the one who called it a, “Scottish Ale.” His reasoning, when pressed was, “I originally named it ‘Scottish’ because I was born in Scotland—that’s all, plain and simple” (Grant, The Ale Master, pg 81). …. So there’s that.

I’m using a Kveik yeast because I don’t have temp control and my garage gets hot. He originally calls for a British ale yeast in his book, and then later for a Scottish ale yeast, so take your pick.
