Bottled the following on 96.04.08. Sampled a bottle last night--was good then (although no carbonation to speak of) and may get much better. We'll see.

Ingredients:

4 # Brewmaker Scotch Heavy 80l kit (save the yeast and nutrient for emergencies)
2 # Munton & Fison Lite Dry Malt
1 # Lite Brown Sugar
1/2 oz Hallertau at boil
1/2 oz Hallertau at boil + 15 minutes
1 tsp Irish Moss at boil + 15 minutes
12 grams Munton Ale Yeas

Procedure:

(Next time, I'm going to try it with another 1/2 oz of hops at boil + 25 minutes). Started yeast with about a quart of warm water and a little DME & sugar. (Next time, I'm going to try a liquid yeast.)

In the primary from 96.03.23 to 96.03.28 (5 days); in the secondary from 96.03.28 to 96.04.08 (11 days); Primed with 3/8 cup corn sugar and 3/4 cup DME and bottled on 96.04.08.
