Hi All , Appologies for the lack of posts recently , been busy with a couple of other projects ; Here`s one to go at for the Boddington`s fans out there , a version of the Bitter (i.p) from the 1920`s , Wilson`s of Newton Heath Bitter (1955) and a Tennant Brothers (Sheffield) Best Ale from...

Hi Portreath, Thanks, the technique I outlined was pretty typical of some Yorkshire brewers . Cheers Edd

Hi Portreath, For what it's worth , I'd go with stopping the primary fermentation @ 1.003.25 above the expected f.g and rack to bottle or cask @ 1.003° above f.g , though you'd need to adjust the Gravity @ pitch if you don't want to loose the abv target . Hope that is...

The Boiler !! , Cheers Edd

How Do Pit Creature, I'd suggest letting the hops roam free in the boil , and stand the copper 1/2 hour at the end of the boil , then cool ( medium slow run off from the copper) , Hope that helps , Cheers Edd

Hi Peebee, Thanks for that , I know Eric from that other place , and on the yeast front , if it was a Yorkshire Square strain hmm , I'd probably go for a John Smith's yeast , as a hell of a lot of the smaller northern brewers were using it , Tong's of Bolton , Whitwell Mark of Kendal etc etc...

Hi Peebee , I've just had an email from Oldham archives, and I'll be checking the info out , but a couple of things and , re the book you mentioned; 1) no mashing and sparging perameters 2) boil times aren't included 3) yeast strain recommendations There's a good little...

Hi Peebee , Sadly I`ve not been able to locate any Oldham Brewery brewing info , and I`m pretty sure that there are NO brewing books in the archives @ Oldham or , at any other public archive source ; it could be that they were destroyed or fed to the boiler / skip when the...
