How Do All ,
Today`s recipe is a version of Barclay , Perkins & Co`s standard bitter from 1902 ;
Not too much difference between this brewing and the 1899 XLK recipe I published on the 19 Th
Of January this year , The major difference being the use of Flaked Maize as a Mash Tun Adjunct ,
As opposed to the use of Flaked Rice in earlier brewings .
The Grist make up was a classy blend of Pale Ale malts of varying Colours with three Mash Heats
Yielding a Collection to Copper gravity of 1.035.75 - 1.036 from the Mash Tun ;
With the Sugars used as a Wort Extender at Collection IN Copper @ Let Off - X Minutes ,
Annoyingly the specific sugars used in the Copper are rarely specified in this book , So I`ve used
My knowledge of period practice and , Sugar Types used in this class of beer ,
To ` Guestimate` No 1 Invert as a substitute .
As to Hops ; all charges to the Copper were of East Kent Goldings from recent crop years .
As with Monday`s cerevesian treat , this recipe comes from the Barclay Perkins & Co ,
New Brewery Brewing Book @ ACC 2305 / 01 / 0596 ,
Cared for by the ever helpfull and friendly team at The London Metropolitan Archives .
