How Do All ,
Today`s cerevesian draught of contentment is another beery delight that comes from entries in ,
The " Unknown Brewery , Brewing Book 1876 - 1877 @ LMA 4453 / D / 02 / 024 ;
Part of the larger Whitbread archive held by the ` Gradely ` and helpfull team down at
The London Metropolitan Archives on Northampton Rd in Clerkenwell .
As I`ve discussed in other blog posts from this source , I`m convinced that this is an ` Independent `
Set of records ; Drawn from the brewings at Chiswell St for the period covered by the book ;
For which Whitbread`s own production records are in two different books , Ale & Porter Brewing .
The original brewing of this beer used 40 Quarters of ` Dereham ` ? Malt ,
Providing a yield to Copper from the Mash Tun of X Wort Barrels at 1.041.5 ;
With the Wort Length in Copper Extended to 237 Wort Barrels at ` All Up ` / Let Off - 150 Mins,
By the addition of 1.013 of Sugar , which in this case I have presumed is a White Cane type .
With the whole volume carrying a Collected gravity of 1.044.5 at the 1 St Hop Charge
( 237 Wt Barrels ) ; with the total Hops Charged providing a respectable 76 IBU .
