Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1909 Truman X
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
A final Mild recipe for Mild Month. I've published a couple of things on the topic. I've done my bit.
When WW I was lurking the corner, the recipe of Truman X was starting to look rather familiar. Rather like that of a modern Dark Mild. Except in terms of gravity, that is.
Which is an impressive 1057º. Though that is 6º down on 1881. It would be all downhill, gravity-wise, from here on.
Mild and crystal malt formed the bulk of the grist. Along with some flaked maize. The sugar was No. 2 invert and not No. 3 as you might have expected. Which is why the colour is fairly pale. Semi-dark, I’d call it.
Considerably fewer hops were chucked in the copper than back in 1881. As you’d expect the (calculated) bitterness is much lower, 37 IBU compared to 65 IBU. The hops themselves were English, Oregon and Hallertau, all from the 1908 harvest.
