| Notes: For our Wee Heavy recipe we looked at the BJCP guidelines and characteristics to help guide us as we developed this recipe. We started with the grain bill, which the BJCP was pretty specific types of grain: Pale, Roasted barley and caramel and we used the UK version of these ingredients to try to stay true to its profile. Hops need to be low flavor and aroma so we choose a British hop to use a bittering hop and no aroma hop. For this brew we used the Edinburgh Scotland water profile as our target so we had to play with the water calculator quite a bit to find the appropriate water additions, and then added the lactic acid to bring our mash pH into proper range. We selected the Wyeast strain of Scottish Ale 1728 because depending on fermentation temps, it can produce ester flavors and Wee Heavy brews can call for low to moderate amounts of ester flavors. |
