Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Bottled Stout in the 1950’s
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
I’ve finally pulled my finger out and ordered my bottled Stout analyses. No, I didn’t shout at them to go and make some tea. I’ve divided them up into groups. Otherwise there are just too many to make sense of.
As with the Pale Ales, I sort of made up my own styles for this purpose. Or at least classes. They aren’t very complicated. I’ve used two criteria: gravity and attenuation. This what I’ve come up with:
Type |
OG |
Apparent attenuation |
Strong Stout |
>1050 |
>65% |
Strong Stout |
|
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
>70% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
65 - 70% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
60 - 65% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
50 - 60% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
Standard Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
>70% |
64 |
14.04% |
Standard Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
65 - 70% |
47 |
10.31% |
Standard Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
60 - 65% |
48 |
10.53% |
Standard Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
50 - 60% |
64 |
14.04% |
Standard Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
|

2.85% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
>70% |
43 |
9.43% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
65 - 70% |

9.21% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
60 - 65% |

7.89% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
50 - 60% |
57 |
12.50% |
Weak Stout |
1040 - 1050 |
|
12 |
2.63% |
total |
|
|
456 |
100.00% |
What’s the point of all this? To demonstrate again that not all English Stout was sweet. The fact that for both standard and weak Stout there are about as many examples with attenuation above 65% as there are below 65% vindicates my assertion.
But I’ll be making that point at much greater length in what follows.
