How Do All ,
Following my recent trip to look at the collections cared for by the good folks in Cowley
At The Oxfordshire History Centre on Temple Rd , I managed to look at a few more records
from breweries in Oxfordshire after finishing my primary research goals which sadly occupied most of the time available.
Happily I managed to find time to take a few photographs of ,the 1930 - 1932 Brewing Book of
Hunt , Edmunds & Co of Banbury @ B 20 / 2 / A3 / 2 ,
The earliest 20 Th century brewing book from this Banbury firm in the collections .
I hope that you all enjoy the recipe ; Happily it`s a relatively simple 2 step mash beer , with some adjustment to the Copper gravities at X Point during the boil , Also included in the original record are the weights and origin of the Hops used ; In this case a small ammmount of old American hops at the start of the boil, with English hops of later crop years at the 1 St Hop point and ,
at X Minutes later in the boil . Sadly the attenuation records are absent apart from the weight of yeast pitched and It`s origin , So these are my own interpretation .
The Racking Gravity is , I believe faintly recorded near the foot of the page this brew was on ,
Possily as " 10 or 11 " which , would of course been an Oak cask , the racking gravities given below reflect the change in container type , and those most commonly available to the home brewer ;
Either Metal or Plastic types .
