Brew #4: Scotch Ale

I got interested in a Scotch Ale. So it cost a bit more getting the extract recipe here. Neat. Brew it, stick it in the primary fermenter and...... nothing. Hmm. Stuck fermentation. Pug, my brewing mentor says, no problem, buy more yeast and stick it in there and swish it about. You can get the fermentation going. It did, eventually, but not well enough. This turned into what I named "Super Sweet Scotch Ale". I think I dumped most of this batch. That's the inspiration to do better.

One bottle of this mistake still exists - ready for inclusion into the ED beer hall of infamy.
