Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1984 Eldridge Pope BAK
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
And here we are at the end of our AK journey with the most recent recipe I have for the style. It’s much the same as the 1964 version, though there have been a couple of changes.
For drinkers, the happiest change is an increase of a few degrees in the gravity. Which has now attained the dizzying heights of 1033º. That, along with quite a bump in the degree of attenuation, have boosted the ABV to a heady 3.7%. Pretty decent for a Light Ale. Most barely crawled above 3% ABV.
Over at the grist, the big change is the dropping of the small amount of malt extract. There’s also been an increase in the percentage of crystal malt, which leaves this iteration slightly darker than that from 1964. There remains quite a lot of wheat flour, which I can only assume was for head retention purposes.
The brewing log doesn’t give away much about the hops. Not harvest year or variety is given. Four are English and another is described as “Styrian”. I assume that by the last they mean Styrian Goldings. The amount is pretty small, however.
