Some more ridiculous detail on Thomas Usher's beers. Well, it's all to do with me travelling again. In two ways.First, it's spun off from some material I'd been preparing for a new talk. And it's to cover a period when I'll be travelling.
For most of the beers, there’s not much in the way of different malts. With the exception of the Stouts, all the beers only contain pale malt. Though there was more than one type of pale malt. Made from barley grown in various parts of the world. For example, Chile, Syria, Turkey and Scotland. With the locally-grown barley being one of the least common.
The malt percentage of these beers varies between 75% and 95%.
More interesting are the Stouts, which contain three types of malt: pale, brown and black. The continued use of brown malt is unusual, as, by this time, most brewers outside London had stripped down their Stout grists to just pale and black. And, at over 17%, the percentage is pretty high.
Also high is the proportion of black malt, weighing in at 13%. Anything over 10% is very high.
