Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Fullers vs Youngs Mild Ale grists in the early 1930s
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Let’s take a look at each of the types of beer in more detail. Starting with Mild Ales.
The grists are quite different. Fullers only contains one malt, base pale malt. While Youngs contains three: pale, mild and crystal. And a higher malt content in total. Only the Fullers Milds contain an adjunct, in the form of flaked maize.
The theme of looking very different continues with the sugars. Where they have no elements in common. Though I suppose that “intense” was a type of caramel. No. 3 invert is the sugar you would expect to find in a Mild. A combination of glucose and caramel, as in Fullers beers, might get you close.
On the other hand, the hops look very similar. Two types of English in each. And, in both cases, from the most recent season and the one before that.
