Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1945 Boddington XX
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
I've just realised that it's May and I haven't published anu Mild recipes. How remiss of me. And what better way to put that to rights than with a nice watery WW II Mild.
This is about as fresh as any of my recipes get. I only harvested the brewing record earlier this week and the recipe itself I wrote yesterday. I'm almost done with Boddington for WW II. Just a couple of 1946 recipes to knock up and that's it.
As with IP, XX isn’t a great deal different from the version of the year previous. Same OG, same ingredients. Just small difference in the proportions of those ingredients.
There’s a little more crystal malt and flaked barley. And a little less malt extract. The other proportions are more or less unchanged.
Just to spice things up, there was just a single type of English hops, from the 1943 season. And a couple of pounds of that hopulon stuff. Which at this point was reserved exclusively for XX. IP got 100% actual hops.
In terms of calculated colour and bitterness, it’s identical to the 1944 iteration.
