If you like WW II recipes you're going to be in for a treat over the coming weeks. As I've got my book, Blitzkrieg!, on the topic to push (https://www.lulu.com/shop/ronald-pattinson/blitzkrieg-vol-2/paperback/product-qrkveq.html). Come on you bastards. I deserve some reward for the five years of work I put into it.
Just like with Mild, there had been a gravity reduction in Lees Bitter. Though compared to post-war standards, it’s still a decently strong beer.
Again, there haven’t been any changes to the elements of the grist, but the relative proportions have shifted. There’s been an even bigger reduction in the percentage of sugar, from around 15% to 5%. Surely simply because sugar was being diverted for other food uses.
The hops were all relatively fresh, from the 1939 and 1940 harvests. All were English, obviously.
