Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1911 Russell AK
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
The version of AK brewed by Russell was a bit weaker than its rivals, being only just over 1040º. An extremely light gravity for a Pale Ale of any description before WW I. It would be interesting to know if it sold for less than the standard AK price of 36 shillings for a 36-gallon barrel.
There’s nothing unusual about the recipe, which is simply pale malt, flaked maize and invert sugar. Rather a lot of the last, making up not far short of 20% of the grist. The pale malt was split 50-50 between English and foreign barley. A tiny amount of a second type of sugar was employed, something described as “Kendall”. The quantity is so small – a mere 12 lbs – that it could only be some sort of caramel.
Two types of hops were flung into the copper, both from the same grower, the only difference being their age. A third were from the 1908 harvest, the other two-thirds from 1910.
