It’s a real matter of chance that I have a couple of Beasley Stout recipes. They’re in a document I photographed which is incorrectly catalogued as a Courage brewing record. When I finally looked at it closely, I soon realised that it was really from Beasley. And not a brewing record. But a costing book. Which just lists the ingredients

There’s one real Beasley brewing record from 1965 in the archive. Sadly, in my impatience, I didn’t look far enough through and didn’t spot any Stouts. However, it does give me an insight into the processes at Beasley.

They used quite a different recipe to the large London brewers. In that there’s no brown or amber malt. Just black and crystal malt. Along with a couple of types of sugar: No. 3 invert, CDM and Carameline. I substituted caramel for the latter two.

This is the mashing process from another beer at Beasley, Courage Light Ale. The mashing seems to have been pretty similar for all their beers. I assume their Stouts were mashed in generally the same way.
