Younger’s wartime records are a bit of a nightmare to interpret. I’ve changed my mind several times about what they actually mean.It’s all to do with the adjuncts. And the confusing columns and what exactly does the underlining of some numbers mean? I’m just going with my best guess.
One thing I know for certain is that this iteration contained rice. Presumably, in the form of flakes. And I’m almost certain that it also contained grits. But I could be wrong about the latter. I am right, then they must have still been performing a cereal mash. As it’s a bit essential when brewing with grits.
The barley for the malt came from England, Scotland and somewhere I can’t make out. But the chances are it was domestic rather than imported. All just pale malt, obviously, as this was a Scottish beer.
Just two types of Kent hops, one from the 1938 season and the other from 1939.
