As promised, the ingredients used in those wacky DDR styles.
You'd imagined it more exciting, I'm guessing. It really does just list malt and hops. There's nothing specific at all. Just the total quantities of malt and hops.
Obviously, the stronger styles like Bock and Porter needed more malt than Hell. The hopping rate is more useful. Quite a lot more in the Porter than any of the other types.
I've calculated the hop rate per 100 kg of malt. It takes the strength of the beer out of the equation, allowing a true comparison of the hopping rates. The size of Porter's victory over Deutsches Porter is much reduced by this measurement.

But, the fun isn't quite over. Because there are a few other ingredients. One of which is a bit of a shock.
Rather surprisingly, sugar was only allowed in one type of beer: Doppel-Caramel. Though caramel for colour was to be found in many different styles.

Quire surprised to see salt in there. But only in Porter. And artificial sweetener. Though that was allowed for certain types of beer in West Germany, too. Still is, for that matter.
