William's "Export the Brit's" Wallace

Brewer: Sam Boman Email: srboman@aol.com
Beer: William's "Export the Brit's" Wallace Style: Scottish Export Ale
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5.5 gallons
Color:
19 HCU (~11 SRM)
Bitterness: 15 IBU
OG: 1.042 FG: 1.012
Alcohol: 3.8% v/v (3.0% w/w)
Grain: 8 oz. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
2 oz. British chocolate
8 oz. American crystal 40L
2 oz. American victory
Steep: Place the speciality malts in a grain bag and put in 2 1/2 gallons of cold water. Bring the water up to between 160° & 170° and remove the bag, hopefully this takes about 30 minutes, if proceeding faster turn down the heat so that it doesn't reach 160° before 30 minutes. Sparge the grain bag with hot tap water and add to wort.
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.076 3.0 gallons
3.3 lb. Light malt extract
1 lb. Amber dry malt extract
1 lb. Light dry malt extract
Be sure to take brew kettle off of heat before adding extracts to prevent sticking. Add 1 tbs of Irish Moss at 15 minutes before end of boil. For a richer profile substitute 4 oz. of malto-dextrin for 4 oz. of Dextrine Malt.
Hops: 1.5 oz. Fuggles (4.0% AA, 60 min.)
Yeast: If possible use Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale yeast(adds a true smoky flavor to the style)
Log: Add 2 oz. of Oak Chips (boiled for 10 minutes) into the fermenter before pitching.
Bottle using 3/4(5 oz.) cup of priming sugar after 10 days. I prefer to rack to secondary after 7, then bottle after 7 days in the secondary.
This adds to the overall clarity of the final product.
Carbonation: 2.5 volumes Corn Sugar: 5.22 oz. for 5 gallons @ 68°F
