Export 80/- How Does This Look?

[Wez]

I'm going to brew a Scottish Export 80/- tomorrow, based this on Mysterio's Recipe here (but tweaked for my available ingredients)

Would those of you with a more experienced eye than me have a look over this recipe and tell me what you think / suggest any improvements for the style?

Thanks!

I think I'll use Gervin English Ale yeast (as I don't have any Edinburgh Ale yeast)

Looks good, maybe mash a little higher to allow of the Gervin yeast

[iowalad]

Brew at the low end of the fermenting range for that yeast.

I bet that will make a great beer! I don't know about torrified wheat because I don't think I've ever used it... well maybe once but I can't remember what it tastes like. I know some people use it all the time and love it, and others that say it tastes like breakfast cereal...

As oblivious says, mash hot... anywhere from 68-70C.

Thanks guy's I'll keep the recipe as - is and mash at 69 and ferment as low as I can for Gervin.

Mysty I like TW I think it helps add a bit of mouthfeel and a degree of smoothness, I've also found that you get good tightly beaded head retention. I'll try this with first

This batch is all going to be bottled so I have a good stock of take-away's - Can't wait to clean out forty odd bottles think I'd rather sandpaper my ring-piece
