Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 1887 Barclay Perkins Brown Sto
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Another recipe from my upcoming book - who knows when exactly it will appear - to provide some relief from all my Heineken and WW II stuff.
The standard Stout of Barclay Perkins in the late 19th century was called BS. Which I’m pretty sure at this point stood for Brown Stout. Whereas after WW I it was Best Stout. Brown Stout being the original name for the style way back in the 18th century.
At this point Brown Stout was mostly a draught product, though it was also available in bottled form. A format which would become increasingly important in the 20th century.
There’s lots going on in the grist, where no fewer than five malts are fighting for supremacy. In addition to the standard London triumvirate of pale, brown and black, there’s also amber and crystal. And, just to round things off, a stack of No. 3 invert. Incredibly complicated when you compare it to the Ales in Barclay’s portfolio. Which only have a couple of ingredients.
Most of the hops were pretty fresh, Mid-Kents from the 1886 harvest. Backed up by some East Kents from 1885.
