There’s a bit of a gap between my first two examples of Tally Ho. A little more than ten years. And there have been a few changes to the beer in the meantime.

The brewing records have also got more detailed. Thankfully. Though they still aren’t perfect. It’s still pretty vague about the type of sugar used and there’s something simply called colour. I’m guessing that’s a type of caramel. And this time I’ve gone for No. 3 invert sugar. For no particular reason other than that I think this beer is darkish.

At least there are more details about the hops. They’re from Worcester, Kent and Burgundy. To be honest, I’ve no idea what type of hops came from the latter. And, as the amount of them was quite small, just 15 of the 105 pounds, I’ve gone for 100% Fuggles. But Goldings or a combination of Goldings and Fuggles would be fine, too.

The gravity has dropped a few points, but not a huge amount. No FG is specified, so that’s a guess again. Based on the first FG that I have for Tally Ho, which is from 1913. That’s the beer we’ll be looking at next.
