As is normally the case, Keg! is going to have homebrew recipes. In addition to all my usual masses of tables and minimal text.One of the joys, for me, is being able to write recipes for very mainstream, boring beers. Crap, even. Ones I wouldn't have crossed the street to drink. This is such a beer. Not that I want to put you off brewing it.
What a delight to have a genuine Light recipe. A style already hurtling towards obscurity in the early 1970s. And pretty much stone-cold dead today.
At the time, there was a fair bit of confusion about 60/-. As it was often coloured quite dark and was around 3% ABV, it was often considered as a sub-class of Dark Mild. When I looked at Scottish brewing records I was soon disavowed of that illusion. It was really just the weakest of the Scottish Pale Ale set.
There’s nothing complicated about the recipe. Which is just base malt, flaked maize and invert sugar. Along with a tiny amount of black malt for colour. Though there was almost certainly caramel added at racking time to colour it up to around 20 SRM.
The few hops were spread between three types of English and one of Hallertau. Along with a few dry hops.
