Scottish Export Ale
Smooth tasting.
(Recipe for 20 litres)
1 Geordie Scottish Export beer kit.
1 kg Light Dry Malt Extract.
1/2 kg of sugar
1 cup of crystal malt
1/4 oz Cascade hops (bittering)
1/4 oz Cascade hops (finishing)
1 pkg of Geordie yeast
Method: Boil with all ingredients except the finishing hops in 6 litres of water for 30 minutes. Add finishing hops and boil for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat. Pour into fermenter. Top up to 20 litres with cold water. Check temperature, when below 30� Celsius add yeast. Ferment as usual.
Spg 1.047.
Notes: I kegged this beer and added gelatine finings. Tasted very good. Best draught beer I've made yet. Went very quickly. Next time I will add extra hops, less sugar and more crystal malt.
