MACLAY & CO : DRAUGHT STOUT 1911

 How Do All , 

Here`s today`s cerevesian offering ; a historic Stout recipe from the noted brewery of Maclay & Co  .
The source of theis recipe is the 1909 - 1912 Brewing Book , Part of the Maclay`s Collection ( M ) ,from the Internationally imoportant Scottish Brewing Archive .The S B A is cared for by the nice and helpfull team at The University of Glasgow Special Collections & Archives on Thurso St who were of great assistance on my last visit ; Thaks team , I really appreciate your help with my research into Scotland`s beery past .
        This book has a lot of usefull details recorded such as the Gross Weghts and types of ingredients, and the Cumulative Extract total for  Malts ( Wet )  , Grits & Sugars and some barrelage figures.
Sadly absent are finite mashing details such as Barrels Used ; so the Mashing Ratiae are my own based on period practice and personal research .
