How Do All ,
Today`s draught of contentment comes from Victorian Burton on Trent .
As with most of my home brew recipies , I`ve designed this version for the types of containers
Available to most home / hobby brewers Viz : Metal / Plastic ;
With the concomitant reduction in Racking Gravity required for such a vessel .
As with the other Black Eagle Brewery ( Burton ) posts , the information for the recipie
Is drawn from items in the Truman`s Archive cared for by the ever friendly and helpfull team
At The London Archives :
Truman`s : Burton Gyle Book 1883 @ B / THB / BUR / 036
I hope that you all enjoy this simple to brew example of the victorian brewer`s art ;
