I enjoyed the idea of using the sugars to make super drinkable stuff.
a 60/- as an everyday lawnmower. .
What does 60/- mean?

Its the lightest of the scottish ales. The scottish styles were namedbased on the alcohol tax rate. A high starting gravity translates into higher ABV.
SO there are three grades of scottish ale 60/-, 70/- and 80/-. Each one has a progresively higher starting gravity than the one before.
60/- stands for 60 shilling and no pence (hence the dash). When you see 60/- just say in your head or aloud to people "sixty shilling".
K, the rice concoction is in the fermenter. Only brewed a gallon. No sense in making a 5g batch of crap. All ingredients scaled down to make a 1g batch as per the original guide lines.
How about a batch with clear belgian candi sugar......................
Hey I would like to join ya'll, but I am remodeling my kitchen right now (I do have a gas fish cooker that I might could wrestle up a batch). I have a batch of pale ale in the primary that I used 4 ozs of dark brown sugar with some good ole cascades. My Winn Dixie carries turbinado. Here is a sight that I stumbled upon with lots of sugars.

brewski, how did that batch with the rice solids go?
Tasted like a Bud.... but much better!!!!!!!!!! It's worth a try. The rice solids lend next to no flavor. So you wind up with a nice dryish ale with a good malt note and a helluva kick. Certainly something I'd use for a higher gravity beer where I didn't want to mask the subtle flavors with too much malt or some other flavor lending fermentable sugar.
i am interested in trying that out. would you post your process?
did you use the original recipe, from 10 pages back: 4lbs light DME, 3 lbs rice solids, 1.5 oz saaz for 60 min boil, 0.5 oz saaz at 10 min, safale-04 yeast?
I just found a store that sells pure fructose for a little over a dollar a pound. That might be worth a shot.
