Brewed a Scottish Peated Wee Heavy Tonight

Visited Austin Homebrew Supply for two and a half cases worth of beer ingredients. Cost me $24 bucks. The six-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedo I drank while brewing cost me about $10. You do the math.

Grain Bill:
.25 lb. peated
.5 lb. biscuit
1 lb. Special B crystal
1 lb. Cara-Munich
Malt extract:
6 Lbs. amber syrup
Sugars:
.5 lb. Turbinado sugar
.25 lb. Corn sugar
Hops:
.5 oz. Fuggle (bittering)
.25 oz. 10-yr. aged Czech Saaz (flavoring)
Yeast:
Safale S-04 dry English Scottish ale

Yum. Smells like BBQ. And, whene'er to drink you are inclin'd, Tam o' Shanters.
