Torin 59+ Shilling Brew day

With summer winding down and the colder (for San Diego) winds blowing off the ocean, this is my favorite time of year.  Warm during the day, with dropping temps at night.  Not quite time for a high ABV% stout, but a great time for a simple malt forward brew.  I wanted to create a beer very low in gravity for a refreshing pint after work.  Having never brewed a 60/- Shilling before I looked to Jamil's book, Brewing Classic Styles.  Using his recipe with some minor adjustments from Nate Smith I turned on the burners.

Wanting to create a big malty melanoidin flavor profile, I sparged 1 gallon into my boil kettle and turned on the flame.  Essentially scorching the wort.
