We're off back to the first half of the 19th century for an early Tetley recipe. A brewery very dear to my heart.I’m really not sure whether you’d classify X3 as a Strong Ale or a strong Mild Ale. It’s pretty damn strong, though, so I’m happy to include it.

This was a particularly difficult recipe to compile. It’s all in scraggly handwriting. And my photograph is quite blurred. Makes it quite a challenge to read. I’ve been able to work out the most important bits.

One malt. Three types of English hops. All very simple. But that’s what early 19th-century recipes are like. No indication of the age or exact origin of the hops. I went for mild, rather than pale malt, in the 1840s was probably a bit darker than today. Or you could splurge and buy some Chevallier pale malt.
