This is a famous beer acquired by Watney when the took over the Yorkshire Stingo Brewery in 1907. A brewery which wasn’t, as the name implies, in Yorkshire, but on the Marylebone Road in London.
Yorkshire Stingo must have been a decent brand, as Watney was still brewing it 70-odd years later.
This has been another piece together job. The Watney Mann Quality Manual doesn’t have a full entry for Stingo. Just a list of the grist ingredients. Luckily, I have some analyses which tell me the FG and OG. The No. 2 is my substitution for something called Fermax.
That just left the hopping to guess. I used the same hopping rate as for Watneys Pale Ale, obviously scaled up for the gravity. Because of the strength, I extended the boil time to 120 minutes. And I used a combination of Fuggles and Goldings, as in many of their other beers.
Despite the guesswork, I feel it was worth putting together this recipe.
