OK so I wandered down to the homebrew store down the street and picked up another kit… this time it’s a scotch ale. This should be intersting since the closesest thing I’ve ever had to a scotch ale is a irish ale.
And in a very uncharacteristic turn I am almost totally ignoring the instructions that came with said kit and doing the entire thing as I’ve been taught… it’s either going to be a mess or it’s going to be ok.
And I just realized that I’m supposed to let the water get to 180 before I put the grains in… Oh well
