Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 1959 Fullers Nourishing Stout
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
It wasn’t until the late 1950s that Fullers finally got around to changing P to NS in the brewhouse. Even though the beer had been marketed as Nourishing Stout for more than a decade.
It was unusual in being the only beer in Fullers range that wasn’t parti-gyled. Which probably made it quite uneconomical to brew. It was produced in batches of a little over 100 barrels in a brewhouse with a normal brew length of 300-500 barrels. 100 barrels was probably about the minimum amount the equipment could cope with.
The recipe hasn’t changed a great deal since 1949. There are still three malts: pale, black and crystal. The sugars remain PEX (for which I’ve substituted No. 2 invert), Special Dark (No. 4 invert) and two types of caramel: London caramel and Carmeline.
From Whitbread Gravity Book analyses for Nourishing Stout, I can see that it wasn’t tinkered with after primary fermentation. Some breweries added lactose at racking time.
The hops were Worcester Fuggles from the 1958 crop and Goldings varieties from 1957.
