Another brew I’m struggling to define from the mystery box that is the brewing log from Barclay Perkins small plant. Unless I’ve missed something, not a beer that was around for long, this being the only example I have.
Based on the grist and hopping rate. It looks like some sort of Pale Ale. Australian Ale, perhaps? I have seen beers called that in adverts. And there was a large export trade to Australia in the 1890s: 147,014 barrels in 1890, almost a third of all UK beer exports. And Barclay Perkins definitely exported their Stout to Australia. But that’s just me guessing.
The grist – just pale malt and No. 1 invert sugar – definitely suggests a classy beer. As does the fact that all the hops were from the most recent 1891 season. (This beer was brewed in April.) The hops look like good quality ones, being split evenly between East Kent and Worcester.
I’ve listed the racking gravity as the FG. This looking like a Stock Ale, I’d expect the real FG to have been considerably lower after an extended Brettanomyces secondary fermentation.
