This all-grain recipe kit gives homebrewers the ingredients they need to craft a rich, full-bodied Scotch Ale from scratch at home. Also known as a "Wee Heavy", this strong ale delivers deep malty character with caramel sweetness, subtle roasted notes and just a touch of smoke, balanced by a low, tea-like hop bitterness.

Big, bold and malty. This is not a beer that believes in doing things by halves.

Why Brewers Love It

  • A Proper All-Grain Brew: A satisfying recipe for brewers who enjoy getting stuck into the full mash-to-glass experience.
  • Big Malty Character: A generous malt bill creates the rich, full-bodied backbone this classic style is known for.
  • Caramelised Goodness: A long boil helps develop deeper colour and those signature rich, caramel-like flavours.
  • A Hint of Smoke: Smoked malt adds another layer of complexity without stealing the show.
  • Beautifully Balanced: East Kent Golding hops bring a gentle bitterness that balances the malt while letting those rich, sweet flavours stay centre stage.
  • A Classic Wee Heavy: Deep copper-to-brown in colour, warming and full of character – just the ticket when you're after a brew with a bit of heft.
