Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 1940 Truman XXX
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
The strongest Mild Ale flowing from Truman’s Burton brewery remained a powerful beer. Still weighing in at over 5% ABV.
At least that’s what I thought until recently. Then I had a look at some analyses of Truman beers in the interwar period. It pretty soon became obvious what XXX was: their draught Burton. Which makes a lot of sense.
No-one brewed a 5% Mild Ale between the wars. I thought it seemed odd that Truman did. When I saw that the OG of XXX matched that of Truman’s Burton, then it was obvious what was going on. Burton was, after all, a sort of super-strength Mild Ale.
It wasn’t just the odd barrel that was brewed, either. This batch was 95 barrels. The shortest length of the three beers in the parti-gyle – there were 230 barrels of 7 and 194 of XX – but still a decent amount.
The basic recipe is not far from that of the X “Dark” and XX “Dark” parti-gyle above. Other than the lack of caramel. And a lower hopping rate. Which leaves the (calculated) IBUs of XXX lower than the much weaker X “Dark”.
