Excellent, that recipe looks pretty nice. the mushrooms are intriguing addition. How long of a boil did it take before you achieved the desired result?

Beer Recipes / Traditional Scotch Ale Recipe

« on: July 01, 2012, 10:15:55 AM »

I've read in "Brewing Classic Styles" and "Scotch Ale" that traditional recipes for wee heavy are simply pale malt and roasted barley with much of the complex malt flavors arising purely from an extended (2+ hour) boil. I would like to try this, but I also don't want to make a flat tasting beer. Has any one tried the extended boil method with good results? Are there tips/tricks for producing a beer that a true Scotsman would enjoy?
