If I'm making a Scottish Light, why is everything so heavy?

Top of the morning to you!

I think this is the earliest I've ever done a brew.  I was up this morning before even the sun came up.

This week's beer is a Scottish Light 60 Shilling Ale. I'm grateful to the Scot's as their beer recipes do not involve long processes to get a brew done.

Everything feels a little more heavy getting it done early in the morning. It might have something to do with the fact I've usually had one or more beers before I start to brew.  Go figure.

I have high hopes for this brew. I believe I managed to get the water chemistry right for the first time ever.
