Scottish 80 export.

I last spoke about bottling my all grain Scotch 80. Today was about 1 week since I had placed the bottles in the dark to be forgotten. I figured it was time to just try one, so I did. I cracked open a 22 ounce bottle I had placed in the refrigerator to allow all the floaties to settle to the bottom of the bottle.
Now, this brew didn't turn out like I had wanted it. I wanted something a little stronger than my original SG of 1.049 which turned out about 4.7 ABV in the end. I also don't think the straining should have been done prior to bottling. I think the straining should maybe happen either right before the boil, or right after as to get left over hops.
So, it wasn't as sharp as I'd have liked it, but it did have a great aroma to it. It smelled very malty and fruity with a nose of barley, yeast, mild alcohol, and lavender. It also had an awesome head, so props to Copper's carbo tabs.
Besides being a little weaker and maybe a little over oxygenated, I had a pretty good time in my first all grain and I hope to be doing the ever so trendy blogging about any future experiments.
