TOOTH & Co LTD : STOUT 1928
How Do All ,
Following on from the last blogpost , Here`s a Stout from Tooth`s of Sydney from1928 ;
As with the last recipe , the Wort volume required at Collection would put a re creation brew out of the Wort Litres at Collection range of most homebrewers , I`ve designed this beer recipe so that a ` BEER Volume Bottled ` would equate to approximately 23.0 Beer Litres .
This recipe also contains the earliest reference I`ve seen to date for the deliberate innoculation of a attenuated ( sic ) beer with a Brettanomces culture ; annoyingly listed as " 1 Flask " in the record . Through research I`ve learned that both Litre and Half Litre Flasks were used in the industry for this sort of task , So I`ve assumed that a Half Litre Flask size was used and reduced the addition rate in proportion to the Beer Length to be innoculated .

TOOTH & CO , SYDNEY : PALE ALE 1928
How Do All ,
Over the last few recipies , I`ve been illustrating the problems of adapting old beer recipies for the talented amateur brewer ; And the concurrent issues of Worts Collection & Gravities when considering the equipment required , Ie : Copper Size Requirements v Required Brewlength at Collection Gravity and the following Wort Yield to F V @ Original Gravity .
Here`s a recipe from Tooth`s brewery in Sydney to illustrate the point further ; For a Collection from the Mash Tun of Wort at 1.025.25 on a BEER LITRES RACKED DOWN volume of : 25.500 B/Litres , The initial collection volume in the copper would have to be between 33.0 and 33.500 Wort Litres @ 1.025.25 to achieve the volume required Viz, 25.500 Beer Litres in container @ 1.049.5 .
The recipe below is , For an initial Wort Volume of 29.000 Wort Litres from Mash Tun @ 1.025.25 ( * Collect 29.290 Wort Litres @ 1.025.0 then CONDENSE to 1.025.25 on 29.0 W/Litres ,+ SUGARS ) and should yield 23.040 Wort Litres To the F V @ 1.049.5 , With the DROP to a 2 Nd F V leaving approximately 22.600 Wort Litres in the 2 Nd F V ; and an estimated 22.20 - 22.30 Beer Litres to DRAUGHT container at 1.011 .

How Do All ,
Following on from the post earlier this week , here`s a tasty Victorian Scottish Porter , as brewed by Dudgeon & Co for you all to try .

BURTONWOOD BREWERY Co LTD : BEST MILD 1963
How Do All ,
Continuing the theme of recipies for under 30 Wort Litres to Copper at Collection Point ; Here`s a recipe from a Brewing Book in my personal collection ,a local North West brewery whose products I remember with great fondness :Burtonwood Brewery near Warrington . This brewing book has entries from Monday 2 Nd September 1963 ( G 25/6 , Pale Mild @ 1.030 ) - Thursday 3 Rd April 1969 ( Best Bitter / B B Brew No 250 , No original gravity stated ) .
Happily this book also covers the period when Almond`s of Standish beers were brewed at Bold Lane , whilst the Standish brewery was undergoing some modernisation in the mid 1960`s , shortly before it`s complete purchase by Burtonwood in 1968 and allmost immediate closure as a producing brewery . Sadly; Most of the brewery and the brewery tap " The Wheatsheaf " which dominated one corner of Standish crossroads were demolished in the early 1980`s to make way for a supermarket .
I hope that you all enjoy the recipe , look out for following recipies in this series .
