TADCASTER TOWER BREWERY LTD : BEERS IN 1885 - 1886

 How Do All ,

Here`s the first analysis table from the records of the Tadcaster Tower Brewery Co Ltd , The Brewing Produce books maintained by the general manager of the company , Tripp from the mid 1880`s until 1891 .

These series of books provide the only data in publicly availabe archives related to brewing from the Tadcaster Tower Brewery , and as they suggest they are , a Brewing Produce Book which records the ammount of Malt used , Sugars and barrels racked down with the original gravity of the beer also being listed .                                                                            Regrettably , as a condition of access to these records , I`m unable to publish recipies without the specific permission from the records owner , a condition I`m happy to agree to.

Sadly there are no mashing , coppering or attenuation details listed , thus the attenuation , Racking and Final gravities are my own interpretation , based on period practice and other clues , some of which are given in a book on the history of the brewery by Anthony Avis ,   " A Brewer`s Tale , A History of Ale in Yorkshire " , Radcliffe Press 1995                                                                                             

Cheers All , I hope that you enjoy the table ;                                                                              And if you can help with my search for more Yorkshire brewing records that might be in private collections etc  ;  Please get in touch , I`d love to hear from you ,
