Source Notes:: September 2019, Vol. 25, No. 4 page 56. This recipe is an attempt to provide a homebrew recipe for a typical Scottish light (ironically, which is dark). It can be scaled up in strength to mak a 70/- or 80/- but reduce the color a bit to make it coppery. It is attempting to use authentic ingredients.
Notes:: Use 6.5 gallons of water in the brew kettle; heat to 158 F. Steep the black malt for 15 minutes. Remove and rinse. Turn off the heat. Add the malt extract and stir thoroughly to dissolve completely. You do not want to feel liquid extract at the bottom of the kettle when stirring with your spoon. Turn the heat back on and bring to a boil. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Add the invert sugar with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort to 59 F, pitch the yeast, and ferment until complete. Rack the beer, prime and bottle condition, or keg and force carbonate.
