Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1940 Fullers AK
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
A style that mostly occurred in the South, AK had come under pressure in WW I. As a relatively low-ABV Pale Ale, it was particularly vulnerable to a general drop in gravities.
This is the last hurray of Fullers version. Literally stricken form history. A slightly later brewing record has AK crossed out, as Fullers drastically overhauled their range of Pale Ales. It started the war with such a low gravity and brewed in such small quantities that it was never going to last the duration.
AK as a type was driven to near extermination by two world wars. Its mistake being to start off pretty weak. In the late 19th century, dozens of breweries produced a beer called AK. After WW II, there were no more than a handful left.
This example was parti-gyled, as usual, with PA and XK.
Turning to the recipe, the flaked maize has been dropped in favour of flaked rice. As you would expect. Otherwise, there’s not a lot of change.
There were four types of English hops, one from the 1939 harvest, the rest from 1938.
