Brewed a Northern Brewer 80 Shilling Scottish Ale extract kit today. Nice thing about buying online, I can read the reviews and make adjustments. Added a cup of brown sugar to the initial boil and 1 ounce Golding (U.S.) to the last 10 minutes. This was a split syrup recipe that had me add the second 3 pounds with 15 minutes left in the boil. Fuggles was the "bittering" hop in the kit and Golding is a relative. It did add hoppiness to the wort, so I think I will like it better with just a tad more hop-forward plus all the caramel from 1 pound of crystal adjunct. The sugar bumped it to 5% potential ABV. We'll see.
Pretty excited, a huge home brewing shop is supposed to open within the next year here (in Alabama, nearby). Finally! It went from illegal to OK in just a few years.
