What’s changed since last year? Just about nothing, if I’m honest. Even the gravity has remained the same.

The grist is still 28 quarters of lager malt and 9 quarters of grits. I’m pretty sure that it’s lager malt and not pale malt purely based on the name of the maltster: Gilstrap (coincidentally, from my home town of Newark). Barclay Perkins usually got their lager malt from either Taylor or Gilstrap.

One area where there have been modifications is the hopping. The rate has been reduced from 6 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt to a bit over 4.5 lbs. Brewers were instructed by the government to reduce hop usage in the summer of 1941.

Two types of Bohemian Saaz were both from the 1938 harvest. In addition, there were Belgian Saaz and English hops, both from 1939. All the hops had been cold stored.

This was the mashing scheme:


mash in
110º F
86 minutes


raise to
154º F
20 minutes


raise to
168º F



hold at
168º F
29 minutes


Sparge at
175º F



The cereal mash was used like a decoction.
