Brew Day - 3/18/07

I went into Barleycorn on Sunday to keg and bottle the batch I made back on the 4th.  While I was there I decided to make another batch and chose a smoked Scottish ale.  The ordinary bitter turned out just great.  It’s a nice, simple everyday beer.   The only thing I’d change about it would be to increase the finishing hops a bit.

Kegging went very smoothly.  I filled two five gallon kegs and then 12 22 oz. bottles but still had more so I filled a half dozen or so 12 oz. bottles as well.  It was actually more beer than I’d expected from the batch and so I was quite happy with everything.

I’ve never made a Scottish ale before (though I’ve enjoyed quite a few) and am curious how this will turn out.  My choice was arbitrary but I have a rule that unless the first thing I see on a list or menu is something I specifically hate I stick with it.  Stupid?  Yes, but I’ve never been disappointed and it saves a lot of time in hemming and hawing.
