UK Lager 1914 - 1919

More information from an archive notebook. One from Barclay Perkins. It covers the period 1914-1920.

It's a bit odd. It covers the period of WW I, yet most of it is concerned with Lager. It's the period when Barclay Perkins were first experimenting with brewing Lager. And, true to form, they checked out what everyone else was doing. Gravity-wise, I mean. Take a look:


WW I, Barclay Perkins, British Lager. A good list of obsessions. Sorry, interests of mine.

Interesting gravities on the "non-alcoholic" lager.

I think the non-alcoholic is the basis for the new Budweiser 55 beer. 100% non-fermentable crystal malt along with a few drops of hop extract.
