Mash Notes
temp was only about 145 with a lot of 170 degree water, decocted some off and heated it, got to 154 after 30 min, went for another 90 minutes, iodine test showed no starch.


Notes
Yeast: WYEAST Scottish Ale 1728 Scottish Ale Rich, smokey, peaty character ideally suited for scottish style ales, smoked beers and high gravity ales. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation - 69-73%. (55-70°F) yeast preference order: wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale Yeast. whitelabs WLP0028 Edinburgh Ale whitelabs WLP003 German Ale II wyeast 1056 American Ale Yeast. wyeast 1084 Irish Ale Yeast. Notes: Remove two gallons of first runnings and boil down to about 1 pint and add back to boil. This will give the richer taste that you find in this fine beer. Collect 15 gallons of Run-off and boil down to your 11 1/2 gallon target (the other 1/2 gallon will come from the 1/2 gallon starter of yeast slurry that you have made in advance). Add 2-3 teaspoons of Irish Moss into the boil just because. Traquar is the finest of all Scottish Ales. Their recipe is pretty easy and straight forward. 99% Pale Ale Malt, 1% Roasted Barley and 35-37 IBU's. FG --> 1.018
