I visited Scotland in 2011 and had a beer called
Isle of Skye Red Cuillin. I can't remember exact details but I think about it every once and a while so it must of been pretty good! I found some info about it and fiddled around with an online beer recipe calculator to get the following:
68% (6.5 lb) Marris Otter
12% (1.2 lb) Crystal 30 Malt
10% (1 lb) Munich Malt
5% (8 oz) Melanoidin
3% (5 oz) Smoked Malt
2% (3 oz) Oats, flaked
1 oz Fuggles @ First Wort Hops
0.5 oz Fuggles, 15 minutes remaining
WY1728 - Scottish Ale
Mash at 154°F for 60 minutes
Boil for 60 minutes
Estimates:
Original-Final Gravity: 1.048 - 1.014
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 15
SRM: 9.8
I am going for a lighter copper colour on this one. I wont be brewing this until the new year so I am open to suggestions!
