How Do All ,
As with my other posts on Chapman`s , this receipt is from the Brighton brewery whose
Founder met a very sad end In one of his own containers , that is if the urban legends / myths
Are to be believed !! ; The source of today`s Cerevesian delight ? ,
It`s from the Brewing Books of H A Baily , whilst he was either a Pupil Brewer or ,
Employed as Eg : 2 Nd Brewer at Chapman`s Black Lion Brewery in Brighton ,
In the latst quarter of the 19 Th Century .
The Baily family Brewing Books are held by the nice and friendly team in Cowley ,
At The Oxfordhire History Centre in the former St Luke`s Church on Temple Rd .

Eagle eyed viewers may question the inclusion of Sugars in an 1876 Stout recipie ;
As did I until I started seeing Sugars entered up in numerous brewer`s records Pre 1880 ,
Hopefully this will correct the impression that British Brewers didn`t use Sugars before 1880 .
