That's a lot of sugar! Are you sure you haven't swapped the crystal malt and sugar weights round :hmm:

I dont think so its an example recipe i just published it to make sure i know how its done. You could be right though i thought the abv was high for a mild

 

[Aleman]

I know that in teh 20's they were starting to drop the gravity of beers, and introduce the use of cheap refined sugar as an adjunct. . . . it's just that 17% is high by any standard (Possibly not Belgian triples though) and only 5% crystal . . . colour looks about right but that is what the black malt is contributing.

I do suspect that it will be a bit on the thin side for a mild of that era though.

Which recipe calculator did you settle on in the end Mark, is that Yobrew you mentioned in chat?

 

[adrianmole72]

What I don't get with the recipes is how you come up with the exact ammount of grains, ie Pale Malt 7lb 12oz.

It's stumping me, it really is..

its just a recipie calculator which i down loaded did a search on google came up with that calculator. That particular one is an example. Dont know how they get that grain weight usually they are sounded off to the nearest gram or pound i think
