I don't know why I just walked towards this without thinking until it was pointed out - I nearly made not one but two of theses with Chevalier and MO malts - what a waste that would have been! I have spent loads of time reading about Malts and beers from the Victorian era but it didn't ring any...

I brewed a hybrid with grain I wanted out of the way to be able to store the influx of grain for the next three porters. So it was: 3.8kg Pilsner 500g Wheat 400g Flake Maize Hops: 20g Cashmere at 60, 15g each of Cashmere and Cascade at 10 mins and another 20g of each at Hopstand (75c for...

Thanks - however, for the purposes of the experiment I am doing (testing Chevalier v Maris Otter) I think the time to do the creation of Brown malt (rather than use the bought stuff I have) will not be worth the outcomes required if that makes sense. I still have the creation of Invert Sugar on...

Interesting as I intended to do that 1822 porter but now that you mention it there is very little base malt and lots of highly kilned malt...um...maybe a rethink... I suspect that it may have worked when Brown malt had diastatic power.

I maybe a bit of a beer geek but I loved it and I hope you like it too!

What are the amounts?

I brewed this as part of my historic beer recipes project and I have to say its very nice. Very Simple Recipe: 3.5kg Golden Promise 1.9kg Flaked Barley Fuggles 23g @ 75mins Fuggles 14 @ 30mins EKG 8g Dry Hop White labs 028 Edinburgh Ale Yeast 67c Mash, Mash out 75c (10 Mins) Flavour is like...

Nothing wrong with you..I also have been buying or getting brewing and beer books for birthdays etc - looking into Ron Pattisons Edwardian brewing next..

This is a great read https://www.amazon.co.uk/Encircling-Hop-History-Hops-Brewing/dp/1872489036 Wife bought it for me for my birthday and as I grow hops as well as brew I was interested in the history of hops growing and drying etc. Really good read centering on one farm in Kent from the 1700s...

It is an addictive hobby! My wife gave me a brewi9ng kit and this weekend I will be doing my 231st Brew!

I tried Blackrock many years ago before I started all grain and found them quite strange tasting, Which one would you consider doing? You won't go wrong with the Wherry.

"sick of brewing! does not compute! :-) I brew to learn and liketo learn every week!

and din't puree the raspberries..just chucked loads in.

yep - at first far too tart and I hated it..leave it a few months and its really good.

Wasn't a fan to be honest

I drink too much!

This is the one for 1944 which is low hopped and low A/C - the other one I have is from 1862 and is called an Export but is hopped up to around 120IBU so I will post that too if you want. Both come from Ron Pattison's website shutupaboutbarclayperkins. Let's Brew Wednesday - 1944 William...

I brew once a week - hot weather has been an issue - lost three beers to over carbonation due to being in a garage which got to over 30c. Now leaving my crates in a north facing room which is 10 degrees lower than the outside and garage so back in business. Next brews are a 1944 recipe for a...

I guess I am going to find out if I like the strong tastes! My only issue is that I store my beers in a garage and when the temp goes up like it did the other week I can sit back and listen to bottles exploding! Our house apparently has a concrete bunker buried somewhere under the patio and I...

I intend to get that for a Barclay-Perkins Mild - lots of hops and high %
