Scottish 80/- Recipe required.

Hello,

Does anyone have a 'good' 80 shilling recipe, and is it based on a commercial beer? I've got a scottish friend who I'm looking to cater for. He says he likes 80/-. They are youngish so contemporary suggestions especially welcome. I had a look through Norman's Real Ale Almanac thread but I couldn't tell from the names really, and am pretty unfamiliar with this style.

Cheers all.

It's really Graham Wheeler's recipe tweaked a little bit

Makes a delicious 80/-. Boiling the hell out of the first runnings is nice trick.

Belhaven 80/- 1041.5 23 Litres
Pale malt 3.900g (86%)
Crystal 115g (2.5%)
Black malt 65g (1.5%)
Maltose Syrup 450g (10%)

Hops 28 EBU
B.C.Bramlings 23g (start boil)
Fuggles 31g(start boil)
Goldings 12g(last 15 min)
I use Flaked Maize instead of Maltose Syrup as it's easier to get but also gives a better flavour anyway

This caramelisation business. Do I collect the first galloon of runnings in a pan to boil down by half whilst the remainder is boiling as usual and then just tip the concentrated wort into the boiler? Sound like a plan to me.

Yeah, do it however you want. You'll get the most amazing smell filling the kitchen

No need to stop at reducing it by half, boil it until it's scary
