Description
Scottish ales are generally dark, malty, full-bodied brews. Many examples have a hint of smokiness derived from the use of peated malt. 60, 70, and 80 shilling examples are all session ales under 5% abv, but the stronger “wee heavies” can range closer to 8%, with the accompanying increase in alcohol flavour and esters.

- Crash cooling – Crash cool the fermentation by decreasing the temperature at 4 deg Celsius for two days. sediments will settle down at the bottom of fermenter.
- Bottling & Carbonation – carbonate the beer by using priming method(amount of Sugar dissolved in boiled water should be calculated based on final gravity for the proper carbonation of the beer) and bottle it.
- NOTE: after boiling importance of sensitization is very important, infected beer can give off flavors or it can ruin your beer.
