Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1941 William Younger No. 1
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
The most surprising thing about No. 1 is just how little it has changed after a few years of war. And the fact that they were still churning it out in quite large quantities.
I’d love to know where No. 1 was consumed during the war. As there were few beers this strong. Was it sipped as a nightcap in their pubs? Or was most distributed as off sales?
You’ll notice grist have reappeared in this recipe. Alongside some rice. I’m still not 100% certain about my current interpretation. But, as there’s a column clearly marked “grits”, it’s reasonable to assume that there are some in there. It’s all pretty confusing, to be honest.
The presence of two adjuncts has knocked down the malt percentage, but it’s still higher than in the mid-1930s, when Younger’s beers were typically 45% grits and 55% malt. One other change is a reduction in the amount of lactose.
Just a single type of hops this time, Kent from the 1939 harvest.
