Thanks much Ron. In addition to the comments I just made to the original post, I would ask if country stout and porter are the same beer.Also, overall the gravities seem down from the later 1800's. Where are the big Imperial and Russian stout levels at 9-12% ABV...?What replaced them in the public affection.. whisky perhaps?Gary
Gary,I've picked an example of SSS with poor attenuation. That was usually a good bit higher in ABV.Gravities were down. No, people weren't drinking more spirits. They preferred weaker beer.
Should the units for malt quantities be read as pounds? Bushels?
Mark, it's quarters.
"Mark, it's quarters."Ron would it be possible to have the values as a % of the grist?
