Not sure why this was called Guinea Pale Ale. That’s 21 shillings. But I know from price lists that this cost 42 shillings for a barrel. Unless that’s the price of a half barrel. Other breweries used the name, too. I guess customers understood what it meant. Or didn’t care.
There’s even less to report about this grist. One malt one sugar. Quite a lot of the latter, Over 25% of the total.
A bit more complexity to the mash. Which went mash, underlet, sparge, sparge, sparge. Sounds like the name of a really bad late 1960s pop band.
Nothing too exciting with the hops. Half Kent and half Mid-Kent. Both from the 1883 season.
