Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Young's grists in 1975

Grist next. The malt content is pretty high, varying between 76% in the Mild, to 95% in Export Pale Ale. The latter had an impact on some brew of the other Pale Ales, as PA, PAB and SPA were all sometimes parti-gyled with Export Pale Ale. Which left those particular brews with a higher malt content than the standard versions.
The base malt is, in most cases, pale malt. Except sometimes the Pale Ales had mostly PA malt, a posher version of pale malt. And Saxon, which, unsurprisingly, went for lager malt.
Crystal malt only turns up in the three dark beers: Mild, Winter Warmer and Old Nick. Demonstrating once again that crystal malt was by no means universal in Pale Ales, even long after WW II.
One malt appears in every beer: enzymic. Which was used to adjust the pH of the mash.
Flaked maize, UK brewers’ adjunct of choice, shows up in every beer except for the Export Pale Ale parti-gyle.
