The people have spoken once again. After an early lead, Bock wasn't able to hold off a late run from Dunkles.

Good news for me, as it gives me a chance to preview (use a recipe I've already written) a recipe from "Blitzkrieg!". Though for any of the four options I could have found a recipe in the book. For a book about UK brewing in WW II, it has quite a lot of Lager recipes. 37 in all. Though there are well over 500 recipes in total. Not that huge a percentage, really.

Lucky old Dark Lager has seen its gravity increase by 0.5º compared with the previous year.

The grist is essentially identical to the previous year’s. Except the lager malt is now from two different English maltsters.

They weren’t brewing a great deal of Dark Lager. This was gyle 101 overall, but only the second brew of Dark that year. 2% of their Lager output wasn’t a huge amount of beer.

The mashing scheme remains much the same, though it isn’t specified when the grain was added. Perhaps they didn’t need to, as it was now all going in at the start. As in the case of Sparkling Beer.

It looks like stocks of Bohemian Saaz had finally been exhausted. There are still Belgian Saaz from the 1939 crop and Fuggles, also from 1939. Both cold stored.
