I was unfortunate enough to start school with the old imperial (real) system . . . and then just when I started to understand that . . . they changed it all to bloody metric :twisted: so is it any bloomin' wonder that I mix and match the measurements as I feel fit? :lol:
The quote of hopping rate at 4 oz per gallon however comes directly from the translation of the old brewing ledgers of around 1860 . . . And Durden park decided to keep the imperial measures rather than complicate their book with the new fangled measurements system :lol: As I've entered them into Promash I have them any which way I choose

Funny when I was in Uni, there was a pub up the road in Bethesda (IIRC the Prince Of Wales) that used to charge in Pounds Shillings and pence . . . I was damned funny watching people trying to work out what 18-/ 2d was in 'new' money . . . especially after a fewJamesB said:I got thrown out of the pub last time I tried that one.topconker said:As long as you dont mix the 2 it's not a problem, anyway, it's easy enough to convert from one to the other, being a tad older than you guys I'll stick to gOod old pounds, shillings and pence!!!!!
