I Fail the Scottish ale ...

Jun 26, 2007 0 Replies

After pitching my yeast and sealing the fermenter, I finally realized why my Scottish ale was very pale. I spied my second bag of malt lying in the corner...the bag which contained all the specialty grains. I'd just made a batch of a very light (in color and sugar) ale. Which, in itself, isn't that bad...except I had just made one almost exactly like it a few weeks before.



So, I'm debating two options:



1) Add some strawberry extract.
2) Dump a bottle of Scotch in it.

Any other suggestions?



Any suggestions on what quantities of the above additions should be added for a 5-ish gallon (1.038 OG) batch?
