Slightly stronger, but still pretty watery, was 50/- B. Wondering what the B stands for? So am I. My best guess would be “Bottling”.
It’s another simple, low-gravity beer. Which I’m guessing was intended for consumption at home.
The grist is slightly more complicated than for 40/- B, as there are two types of malt: pale and high-dried. I’ve substituted Munich malt for it. Though Simpson’s Imperial is probably the closest modern equivalent to high-dried malt.
The hops are just the same as 40/- B: Californian from the 1884 harvest and Alsace from 1883.
