I've always had good luck with the traditional Scottish 70/- recipe. I have it on tap right now and it is the most well recieved beer amongst my friends and family. Everyone tells me it has a great flavor without being overpowering. I agree.

And the recipe is small, simple and easy. (AKA: Affordable and able to be found). I have made it as an extract beer and as an all grain and it always turns out great.


Scottish 70/- Traditional

Est. OG - 1.043
Est. FG - 1.012
Alc: 4% ABV
IBUs: 11.5
120 Minute Boil

8 lbs - Maris Otter
0.25 lbs - Roasted Barley (300L)

0.60 oz - Fuggles (4.5% AA) - 60 min
(This can vary depending on how you like your beers... I like my IBUs low on Scottish Ales)

White Labs WLP028 - Edinburgh Ale


The other option would be JZ's Scottish 70/-...

I love JZ's American Brown #1... My house Amarillo brown is based off that recipe with a ton more hops in the kegs. I'm thinking about brewing a more malty Brown ale. Lower on hops = easier on the pocketbook.

And I will attest to the fact that Lars' American Brown is a damn tasty one!

I'm kinda of thinking that it would be cool to either A) come up with an all new recipe or B)use a recipe like Thirsty's or Lars's (one that is not published). I'm just thinking that a recipe that was generated by the forum might be a pain in the ass to settle on, but it would be a BN original. Also, I can brew a recipe from BCS or the Bonjour site anytime, but taking a recipe from another BN soldier and brewing said recipe with the rest of the army on a specific day would be awesome.

Just a thought.

I'm OK with a Scottish. Thirsty's recipe looks fine to me, but if someone wants to tweek it to "make it our own", go for it.

Let's put it to a vote

whatever is decided I am in. I love all styles of beer and currently have a good stash of hops.

Right on!!!!

I'm in, I just brewed that brown recipe and way over shot my gravity. I switch from batch to fly sparging and my eff went from ~76% to 89%...no shit. I'd like to have another go at it to see if I can nail it this time.

The Scottish is cool w/ me too. I need a beer for our local comp the Dredhop and that sounds tasty.

Also, an Idea, next months club only comp is Porters...just a thought

Cheers
