This recipe was taken from an article that highlights the importance of picking a proper base malt for the style you are brewing. We all know that malts can vary greatly from maltster to maltster, so it is crucial to know your brands and varieties well. The Crisp Maris Otter in this recipe brings out a crisp, clear finished product, while Pauls Mild Ale malt gives it the medium-bodied caramel flavor we love in Scotch ales.
This recipe was originally featured in "Master Malt: Selecting the Best Base for Your Beer" by Gordon Strong in the May/June 2011 issue of Zymurgy magazine.
