Scottish Export 80

Here is a recipe that I took from BeerSmith at this link:

http://www.beersmith.com/Recipes2/recipe_330.htm

I modified it, mostly by not doing any extra stuff, i.e. water treatment, extra boil of wort for caramelization.

I entered it into a great beer competition of real ales held by BURP http://burp.burp.org/default.aspx and out of 51 real ales this one came in as Best of Show.
Best served with a beer engine (26 on hand at the competition). It is a simple straight forward all grain recipe.

I happen to think that is a great recipe.

I thought you might.
I brewed the recipe the way you did it. I think I came in higher in OG and didn't get as low a FG.
I have had many good remarks and compliments on this beer.

I did a ten gallon batch so after the 3 gallons I entered in the competition, I had 7 gallons of it left which I naturally carbonated and put on the beer engine. I got a cask breather so it lasted a long time. I have a little of it left but I think it has hit the end of its' enjoyable life.

I shall remember it well.

PS There were 26 beer engines at the competition and 51 entries. I heard that 40 of the 51 got a grade of 30+ in the judging. What great beers were there.
