As Barclay’s strongest Lager, it’s no surprise that it’s also suffered the biggest reduction in gravity.

The total number of quarters in the grist remain the same, but there’s more crystal malt and roast. No need to guess why this might have been, as there’s a note in the record explaining it: “N.B. New proportions for coloured malts to make up colour due to gravity reduction.” Which makes sense.

Another change to the grist compared to 1941 is the use of lager malt rather than pale malt as the base.

That all the malt was being added at the start of the mash is confirmed by this record. What could the reason have been for that? Aside from that, the mashing scheme was much the same.
