Classification: Scottish ale, extract

My last batch came out too light because I added only 1/2 pound of the crystal malt---I was convinced it was in the 90 Lovibond range. I also used 6.6 pounds of canned extract. The resulting beer was about 1/3 as dark as the original.

Ingredients:

6 pounds, M&F light dry extract
1 pound, Scottish crystal malt (40L)
1 ounce, Northern Brewer leaf hops (boil)
1/2 ounce, Northern Brewer (finish)
Brewers Choice American ale yeast

Procedure:

Boiling hops are put in kettle for a 55 minute boil. The finishing hops are put in for an additional 5 minutes.
