Stripped all these numbers from a William Younger brewing record.

It was hugely satisfying. Hard to explain why I felt that, other than by labelling myself with some obsessive condition. Though I'm sure I have one. I wouldn't be so arsed with this type of number collection, otherwise.

This isn't even the full table, just the left-hand half.

I sometimes wonder whether assembling these spreadsheets is really my goal, rather than a means to achieve another. That is, writing books so number-laden, only professionals and fellow obsessives can endure them.

Having wondered whether I was wasting my time extracting every single brew, despite many being identical, I now feel vindicated. having at lest used the information somewhere.

William Younger brewing record held at the Scottish Brewing Archive, document number WY/6/1/2/76.




Moving on from my own mental frailties, what's significant about the Younger's beers? The feeble level of hopping.

To take a beer's gravity out of the equation when looking at hopping, you have to look at the rate per quarter. In 1939, Whitbread hopped their beers way, way more heavily:

Whitbread brewing record held at the London Metropolitan Archives, document number LMA/4453/D/01/107.



Whitbread's Mild Ale was hopped more than twice as heavily as Younger's Pale Ales. That tells you all you need to know.

Also, see how much No. 3 they were brewing. There were only more brews of one beer - LAE - in this set.
