How Do All ,
Here`s today`s recipe ; the X Ale of Henry Bentley & Co Yorkshire Breweries Ltd .
The major difference apart from the relative gravities between this and the x Ale is the inclusion of Racking Hops in all brewings , as per the x Ale this beer also includes the use of a cooled & clear black malt broth to the copper as well as Caramel ; Though as with most other H B & Co beers the type of sugars used varies between Invert Sugars derived from Cane and , an Ivert Glucose syrup / solid .
