Connor was excited for all of the football games. He also brewed a Scottish Ale... He said, "Well...its a foggy Scottish day; perfect for brewing a smokey Scottish beer." He brewed this one for Daryl. How convenient that his brew system is portable, so he didn't have to be far from the TV. :)
Here is the recipe:
3 gallon batch
6# American Two Row
1# American Munich Lt
.5# Crystal 60L
4 oz American Chocolate
2 oz Peated Malt
.5# Carapils
Infusion mash, 154F
.5 oz Norhtern Brewer 60 min
.5 oz Willamette 30 min
.5 oz Willamette 0 min
1st runnings: 1.080
Last runnings: 1.029

Wyeast Scottish yeast was used from the Vanilla Bourbon Porter.
After two hours the airlock was bubbling...Wow!!!
Marie baked banana bread, apple pie, and chicken and dumplings... Comfort food = Yum!
This evening...we doctored the cats, which means we trimmed their way overgrown claws and tried to clean their ears. They are so sweet... they get very concerned about the other one as we hold and treat. They cry like babies... You would think we were seriously injuring them. Afterwards, they check eachother out and I am sure they say, "Geesh man, what did we do this time! Did they hurt you? Let me see your face bro. You ok?" When they were both done, they headed to the food bowls looking totally bewildered and not knowing what else to do!
I am cracking up about the tittens... so tute!
ReplyDeleteMe too haha. Lefty's feeling were probably hurt so he had to go soak his sorrows in food. Sounds like another great weekend at the Tucker House (and the Brewery!).
ReplyDeleteWay behind on reading this post. Connor, congrats on brewing the first beer in our circle with smoked peat in it. Did the airlock smell smokey? Great post! Go Browns! (and maybe the cowboys if they aren't playing the browns)
ReplyDeleteHey Connor and Marie! I am way behind on all the blogging activity, but finally got a chance to catch up. This brew sounds awesome and so did the comfort food! I am brewing a Scottish Ale myself next weekend though I think I won't use any smoked malts...
