KIRKSTALL BREWERY BEERS IN 1885

How Do All , 

Here`s another analysis table for you all ; This time from the West Riding of Yorkshire ,          and a place just outside of Leeds , Kirkstall ! .

The records were , sent to me in confidence ,

so I`m sadly unable to share my excellent recipies from this well known Yorkshire brewery

This set of records unfortunately doesn`t contain any attenuation records , so those are my own interpretation ;  though happily the Malt Quarters ; Sugars by Cwt , Hop poundage per Quarter of Malt  are given ,  as are some liquor treatments .

 One interesting detail is that the original Kirkstall Brewery were , in 1885 using at least two different yeast strains ; One " Own from X No of Brew and a smaller ammount from the Noted  Burton brewery of Sir Andrew Barclay Walker on Shobnall Rd .
