INSTRUCTIONS:
Add grains to 2 ½ gallons of water. Heat to 170o F, then remove grains. Stir in malt extract and bring to a boil. Add boiling hops and boil for an hour. Add second hop addition, boil another half-hour then add finishing hops. Transfer to fermenter with enough cold water to make 5.5 gallons. Aerate well and pitch a large starter of yeast or rack onto a yeast cake from a previous batch. You may need to add additional yeast to secondary fermenter to finish this beer out. The author recommends slurry or a large starter of Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale Yeast for finishing.
