How Do All ,
Here`s a classy Draught Victorian Family Ale recipe for you to try ; this brewing had two different
original gravities , one at 1.050 and one at 1.052..
I`d contend that the higher gravity would be bottled , as the IBU rating of both is the same .
This recipe is taken from W B Mew , Langton & Co`s Brewing Book 1884 - 1885 @ ML 44 /4 ,
Deposited with the team at the The Isle of Wight Records Office : Ref No , Brewing Book 1884 - 1885 @ ML 44 / 4 , Photos of the book were kindly sent by Jeff Sechiari of The Brewery History Society ,
Cheers Jeff , I really appreciate you sending me the photos .
