Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Young's processes in 1975
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
A couple of processes are in the next table. Namely, boiling and fermentation.
The boiling times are a little on the long side at mostly 1.75 hours. A 90-minute boil was more usual at this point. Not really much more I can say about that.
Pitching temperatures, which are mostly in the low 60ºs F, are pretty typical. As is the pitching of the strong beers at a little under 60º F. The temperatures weren’t allowed to rise that high, mostly finishing around 70º F.
That also applies to Saxon Lager, which pitched a little cooler than the other beers of a similar gravity, but ended up at just under 70º F. Like their other beers.
All the beers – including Saxon Lager – had pretty much identical mashing schemes.
It’s a very typical mashing process, where an initial infusion is followed by an underlet and a couple of sparges. A very large number of English breweries mashed this way.
