Hi Dan , All main extract malts start off as a pale ale type, ( barley quality is also a factor in the Pale/Mild malt thing) and it's down to the kilning for the colour of the finished product , but Chevalier is a superb malt if you're interested in re creating old beers from the 19th & Early...

Yup , it's when you commented that there wasn't any invert in there , made me look at my notebook, lo and behold there it was , No 3 & M/extract , aaargh !! Will be a bit more rigorous with the proof reading on the next posts !! Cheers Edd

Hi Honk , Just noticed the howler in the Allsopp's XLM from 1935 , I did forget to include the invert , buggeration !! , my crappy typing skills to the fore again !, the original calls for 10% No3 invert , and 4% Malt extract , profuse apologies for the error in the uploaded recipe , Sub: 6%...

Hi Iain , It's another old barley malt variety , I'll omit it on future posts, as the Chevalier is pretty good . Cheers Edd

Hi Honk , Hopefully I'll be able to upload two more tomorrow, a Greenall's IPA from 1937-8 (St Helens) and a Henry Bentley & Co Bitter Beer from the early 1890's Cheers Edd

Hi Honk ; Just put the Allsopp`s Light Mild from 1935 up , Cheers , Edd

Hi All , Here`s a few recipies for you all to go at , and sorry Dutto , they were typed up before I got the suggestion about Metric values in temperature ; all of the Imperial measurements are , UK values , NOT U.S , Hope you all enjoy them , Happy Mashing !! Cheers , Edd

Hi All , I've always used this formula for approximating abv OG - FG × .62 = x , times X by 1.23, then add degrees contributed by sugars eg 1.008 and divide the result by 7.45.

Hi Honk , How about the XXXX@ 22 IBU 1.047° OG , or No 3b @ 1.054° , 30 IBU( in the stronger milds ), and the XLM @1.036°, 21IBU ??, from the weaker ones ?? . You'll need 2 F.V's , as these recipies call for dropping , but have a pretty simple Mashing regime (1 temp @ 153-4°F ), and a boil...

Thanks for the welcome My Qul , Cheers Edd

Hi Honk , How about a Whitwell Mark Pale Ale from the 1930's , and an Allsopp's from 1935 (see the attached list)

Hi All , I know Ron , and have swapped info and contributed to the blog he does , top bloke, very knowledgeable, and a genuine enthusiast for beer and brewing history. I'll be uploading a few recipies tomorrow to this thread, Apologies for any double posted ones , Cheers Edd PS: The pic is of...

Hi Dutto , It's just a force of habit thing with the Imperial measurements thing , as most , if not all of the old brewing records that I've seen are in imperial speak !! , Quarters & Bushels of malt , Cwts of sugar , and lbs of hops ; gravity oh what fun I've had with that one!; Brewers Pounds...

Hi Dutto , The temperature's in Fahrenheit because that's just one of my things !! , but the 2.700 g/ litre (or whichever ratio is given) thing is the easiest , or most accurate way of expressing a grist to liquor ratio in a homebrew environment , as the original would be in barrels per quarter...

Hi Graham, Here's the Henry Bentley & Co One X Mild from 1893 , Give me a message if you need any clarification , or help reading my handwriting!!. Still working on sourcing the ingredients for you , Cheers Edd Hi , the 1.032° in the hops & boil section, refers to the gravity of the wort 10...

Hi BlackIsland , Welcome to the forum , hope you enjoy your trip over here ; there are some really great classic Yorkshire breweries whose beers at exemplars of the style , top of the list for me is the excellent Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter , also look out for Barnsley Bitter from Acorn ...

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your brewing, Cheers Edd

Cheers for that Big Col, I appreciate your kind words!!!

Hi Graham , Aye , decisions decisions eh ?? , maybe a group of home brewers could club together for a discount ? , I also heard (a while ago) that Thakston's up in Masham were selling officially some pins , not sure as to price though. I'd go with a decent plastic or stainless pin as a starter...
