I'm just getting the mixture right between water and dirt to let me have a good old wallow in nostalgia. Or at least, casting a glance back at the past. And hoping no-one is returning my gaze.We were looking at Whitbread's 1973 set of beers. Time now for the other fermentables: adjuncts and sugar.
What should be remembered here is that Whitbread had long been a holdout in the use of adjuncts. Only starting to use them in 1965. Much later than most of their rival brewers. Other than wartime, of course, when they had no choice but to.
I assume that the flaked maize in Gold Label is to lighten the body. Along with all that sugar. Od a type which only appears in the other beer seeking paleness, Export Pale Ale.
Torrefied barley turns up in the Mild and Stouts. My guess is for head retention. The same beers also include CDM (Caramelised Dextro Maltose). Which would have added both body and colour.
I’ve no idea what LPS and SLS were. Other than some sort of syrup. Given the beers it’s in, SLS must be pale. LPS, probably not, as it pops up in the dark Best Mild and Final Selection.

I do wonder who likes posts like these. They're exactly what I'd like to read. But I'm a bit strange.
