Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 2006 Youngs Super Lager
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
And here’s the other half of the Lager parti-gyle. A super-strength Lager that I’d never heard of. Looking like a competitor to classy beers like Tennent’s Super. I didn’t realise that Youngs had dipped their toes into that particular swamp.
It differed from Export in being fermented a bit cooler, being pitched at 54º F and only rising to 58º F. Not really proper Lager temperatures, but around 10º F cooler than their top-fermenting beers. Which explains why, along with the high gravity, the fermentation took so long: 17 days. Which is just a day short of two weeks longer than most of their beers.
There must have been a decent market for this beer as it was brewed in a batch of 115 barrels, compared to 215 barrels of Export.
Looking at online reviews, it seems that this beer is still being brewed. So how come I’ve never heard of it?
