Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 1975 Elgood Lager
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
We have here a really good example of the pseudo-Lagers brewed by smaller UK breweries in the 1960s and 1970s. Not having the equipment to brew a proper Lager, they simply brewed a very pale top-fermenting beer.
Which is exactly what we have here. The recipe is very simple: lager malt, flaked rice and a tiny bit of malt extract. I assume that rice has been chosen as the adjunct in order to keep the colour as pale as possible. There’s really not a lot more to say about the grist.
In reality, this is a Golden Ale, just artificially carbonated, stuck into kegs and served cold.
A typical underlet mashing process was employed. Nothing even vaguely resembling a decoction mash. Though much the same as the scheme used for their other beers.
There was a single type of English hop from the 1973 harvest.
