60/-

A simple, true to style recipe.
Double it if you have the capacity,
it goes pretty quick, and it's dirt cheap.

Brewer: El Puerco Loco Email: dbrood@buffnet.net
Beer: 60/- Style: Scottish Light Ale
Type: All grain Size: 5 gallons
Color:
23 HCU (~13 SRM)
Bitterness: 15 IBU
OG: 1.032 FG: 1.008
Alcohol: 3.1% v/v (2.4% w/w)
Water: 2 tsp gypsum to 7 gal Buffalo (NY) tap.
Grain: 5 lb. British pale
1 lb. British crystal 50-60L
1.5 oz. British black patent
Mash: 70% efficiency
Single infusion mash @150-152°F til converted.
Sparge to collect about 4 gal, add two gal of
water to the kettle to make 6 gal in all.
Boil: 120 minutes SG 1.026 6 gallons
Irish moss for last 15 minutes of boil. Boiled down to 4 gal,
had to add 1 gallon of water back to fermenter to make up
for it.
Hops: .7 oz. Fuggles (5.1% AA, 60 min.)
Yeast: Wyeast Scottish Ale.
Log: Grain was Scottish Golden Promise, best stuff
around for this style, IMHO. A bit pricey though.
pitched at 75° with about a cup of slurry from
last weeks 80/- cooled down to 64° fermentation
complete after 3 days. Rack to secondary to
clear for 2 weeks @64° Bottled in 16 oz bottles.
Carbonation: 1.3 vol
Tasting: mmm-mmm that's good beer! Tastes bigger than it is.
Kinda like Belhaven Export, even though the alcohol
content is closer to Coors Light. For 20 cents a pint,
you can't beat it. Would really be good from a cask.
Anyone care to donate a firkin and a hand pump?
