Notes:
Pale Ale Malt (3.4 L) constitutes 90%; Roast (600 L) 2%;
and Carapils (8 L) 8% - 
the recommended percentages for this style according to Daniels.
Using roast barley and residual sweetness determines more what 
makes a Scotch Ale than does the yeast.

Decided to toss in 6 oz. Scottish Peated Malt (8L), too.

Mashed at 156F for 1 hour.

Use a long boil (90 minutes) for caramelization.

2 tsp. Irish Moss @ 15 min.

Should have minimal hop flavor, aroma & bitterness.

1728 Scottish Ale yeast
Ideally suited for Scottish-style ales, and high gravity ales 
of all types. Flocculation high; apparent attenuation 69-73%.

This beer is named "Jasmine's Scotty Dog Ale" because it was
brewed at about the time we adopted our Scottish Terrier "Jasmine".
