There’s only been a little shaved off the strength of Boddington’s Strong Ale, CC, since the outbreak of war.

Don’t ask me what CC stands for. Or means. Absolutely no fucking idea. None. But dead cool to find a recipe for a Manchester-style Strong Ale.

There’s only been a minimal reduction in the gravity – 1.5º. But this was brewed very early in the year, on 4th January. Having said that, as late as October the gravity remained 1055º

Just as with XX, the flaked maize has been replaced by flaked rice. Though, in contrast to the Mild, the proportion of adjunct has been significantly reduced, roughly halved. The slack being taken up by the base pale malt. There’s also been a significant reduction in the sugar content.

Most, though not quite all, of the hops were English from the 1939 crop. The dry hops were a combination of more English from 1939 and Styrian from 1938. The latter having been kept in a cold store.
