Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Fidelio 1941 Lager
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Try telling me this isn't a real brew. It's for over 300 barrels and has an actual date on it. And it's definitely from the Fidelio Brewery. Because I've also got a copy of Bill Schwarz's personnel record. He was one of their brewers.
I published the other sheet first, because, well, I was saving this one. If you're good I may post the IPA recipe, too.
This is from a very interesting period: June 1941. Just a few months before the USA joined WW II. So I would guess it gives a fair indication of what post-Prohibition brewing was like.
The mash is very similar to the smaller brew. Though the ingredients are quite different. The hopping rate of this beer is pretty low at just half a pound per US barrel. Not much at all for a beer with an OG of 1050.
Let's take a look.
I wonder if any of you will try brewing this? Not quite as a 19th century Porter. But just as much a piece of brewing history.
