Well how did it go?
After the guess at the mash temp I actually got 22 litres which I am happy with. OG was 1.042 which is less than I would like but reasonable given the issue with mash temp.
Nottingham yeast pitched his morning. The colour is great, just what I was after. Can't wait to taste. Thanks for all the help Seymour.

Re: Scottish Heavy
Well, according to BJCP guidelines:
9B. Scottish Heavy 70/- = OG: 1.035 – 1.040
9C. Scottish Export 80/- = OG: 1.040 – 1.054
So you're actually high for a "heavy", and conservative for an "export" but either way, a tasty place to be!

Re: Scottish Heavy
Finished at 1.008. Does that mean that the mash temp was too low or too high if bead aiming at 1.012?

Re: Scottish Heavy
Just to say that this starting to come into its own now so thank you Seymour.
to be picky its a little thin but I think that is due to the low mash temp rather than the receipe.
I'm looking forward to consuming the rest (before my other half finds out there's more
)
My thanks to Seymour.

Re: Scottish Heavy
I've just finished the last one. Definately plan to do again with the right mash temp. Lovely and malty with a bit of texture which I guess the oats give. The thinness I got early on seemed to sort itself out with a bit more age (either that or I got used to it)
would recommend to anyone else right away.
