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?
