- Bronze Medal Winner, 2002 and 2004 Great American Beer Festival, Gold Medal Winner, 2011 Great American Beer Festival. "Our interpretation of the classic ale that originated in Glasgow, Scotland. A full-bodied ale, rich in malt complexity. Brewed with both English and American barley and many, many specialty malts allowing hints of roasted chocolate, caramel and raisins with very little hop presence." - Town Hall Head Brewer Mike Hoops.
Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter. - Additional Information

A Malty BeastThis might be my favorite Northern Brewer extract kit. It makes a wonderfully malty ale that is not heavy in the least. Last December, I gave a few different home brews to a craft beer loving neighbor. About a week later, he saw me out walking, stopped his car and began raving about this Scotch Ale. I have brewed it several times and it makes a perfect beer for the autumn months. My third batch is in the secondary and will be ready to drink on the opening weekend of college football.- Was this review helpful? Yes (3) No (0)

Outstanding Scotch AleThis is the first Scotch Ale I've brewed and I love it. Perfectly malty. As others have said, let this sit for 3 months and it becomes great beer. Lots of late hops so I'd advise a hop bag. Like a bonehead I used carbonation drops and followed the package instructions (2 per 22 oz), so it's ridiculously over-carbonated. If you look at the weight of the drops it's obvious that this is too much.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

THHK 2.0 just as good as the firstI brewed this beer four years ago as my sixth homebrew. I wrote a review that my last bottle (almost 2 years old) was the best and that I would definitely brew this again. Because of NB's great selection of recipes it has taken me this long to get to it and it is SOB(Steve's Own Brew)#35. Brewed on 5/7/16. I did a yeast starter with the Wyeast simply because I had never done one and fermentation started within 8 hours. OG of 1.072. Fermented at 64 degrees. Did not secondary and bottled on 6/2. FG of 1.015. I try to stay away from it so that I will have a case this fall but it is hard not to drink it. Malty, caramel, slight taste of raisin(?), and a slight bitterness to it. Tan head that stays throughout the drink and a wonderfully clear brown-ruby color. Give it two or three months to condition and you will be rewarded. Hopefully it won't take another 29 brewings to get to THHK 3.0.- Was this review helpful? Yes (2) No (0)

Love Northern BrewerThis is the second kit I have used in my home-brew setup. It is currently in the secondary fermenter, but I am really excited to try it out in a month. I love scotch style ale and since I moved away from the Pacific Northwest, I haven’t been able to enjoy one. As for Northern Brewer, my shipment arrived 24 hours before the scheduled delivery, and the wyeast pack came in an envelope with a cooling pack to preserve it during shipping. I can’t wait until this batch is finished so that I can order my next batch.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (6)

Smoooooth....This one came out excellent! I followed the recipe (extract kit) but it did take longer to carbonate, more like 3 weeks ( @2 weeks it was quite flat). It now has about 4 weeks in the bottle and is excellent. Very smooth and malt-a-lisious! Just let it condition a bit longer than the 2 weeks and you will be rewarded!! I'll definitely do this one up again.- Was this review helpful? Yes (2) No (0)

Absolutely delicious! You won't be dissappointed in this kit!I typically brew all grain, but due to it being winter and cold outside, I decided to try a kit. I'm a fan of Town Hall brewer, so I thought I'd give this kit a go. I was pleasantly surprised! It doesn't have the "kit" flavor I was expecting. In fact, all of my guests have not been able to guess this came from a kit at all. You do need to give this a full 6 weeks, but if you have the time, it's mouthwateringly delicious! Only problem is that it will be gone very soon because it's a real crowd pleaser.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

I am thinking 3.5 weeks before bottling, will this be okay?BEST ANSWER: 3.5 weeks will be just fine assuming good sanitation and a some what stable fermentation temperature. If you have temperature control consider lowering to 60ish after 2.5 weeks. This will produce a clearer finished product.

what is the difference in flavor with the different yeast?BEST ANSWER: You can actually expect very similar results with any of the yeast options. Many like dry yeast because it is cheap and shelf stable and easy to use. Many like Wyeast as it has built in activation and the yeast have never been dehydrated. Omega offers the same high quality strain but have 1.5 times as much yeast. Basically the same strain, but three different forms. Stick with what you know is often the best advice.- Reply
