How Do All ,
Here`s a recipe for a West India Export Ale from the noted Glasgow brewery of J & R Tennent ;
Taken from the earliest surviving brewing book : 1830 - 1831 Brewing Book @ T 6/1/1/1 ,
Part of the Tennent`s Archives deposited as part of the internationally important
Scottish Breing Archive which is cared for by the good folks at The University of Glasgow ,
Special Collections & Archives .
This brewing as with other gyles from this source merely recorded the gross materials weights used , and happily the Original Gravity . Sadly lacking are Attenation and other finite process details , so these are my own interpretation of what the production perameters of each individual beer would be .
With thanks to the team at Wellpark for supplying the image of the brewery ,
And fellow members of the Scottish Brewing Archive Association for their assistance with my research.
