Today`s cerevesian treat is drawn from the brewing book catalogued as ;

Cared for as part of their accessions by the friendly and helpfull team at The Kent History Centre ;

I can heavily reccomend the book " Kentish Brewers And The Brewers of Kent ",

Hi Edd, new to home brewing I test brewed a 10ltr batch of this recipe after setting AI on proportions. The boil off was far greater than expected and not having sufficiently treated water couldn't dilute. It's fermenting presently at around 7.5% I have to say it tastes fantastic and it still needs crashing, bottling and aging. I shall certainly be trying it again to 23ltrs
ReplyDeleteMorning Mate ,
DeleteGlad you've brewed it ; Happy to post photos of the delectable Wallop in question if you took any π€πΊπ.
On the question of the LIQUID VOLUME of Fermented Wort Racked Down as Beer ; I'd be happy to do you a 23 Litres R/ Down recipie , Though from memory this will , Increase the initial Wort Collection volume .
Cheers π»
