Don’s Ole Scotch Ale – Wee Heavy All Grain Homebrew recipe

On our Scottish export tasting video episode, BJCP Category 14A, we had the good fortune to have Don, a fellow member of the Brew Brothers homebrew club, join us. Not only did he join us, but he brought along this excellent example of a Wee Heavy (BJCP Category 17C) for us to sample, and he was even willing to share the recipe!

This recipe features some ingredients that may have fallen out of favor in modern times, but were widely used historicly, namely juniper berries and star anise. They add a complexity and licorice flavor to the beer which is very agreeable. I suggest you give them a try.
