Harp (yet again)
More details about Harp. I wish I had as much on other beers. Like Barclay Perkins Russian Stout. But I guess, after 200 years, they knew how to brew that.
I've posted this because it has nice details of the hopping scheme. (Interesting to see the aroma additions of Saaz at the end.) And the yeast. Harp Yeast, they used, according to this document. This is just a guess, but my money would be on that being a bottom-fermenting yeast.

Lovely use of Stryian Goldings! I wonder if "at steam" is simalr or the same as First wort hopping?
Likely "at steam" means it's boiling, so I would say these would be bittering hops, or when you first start to see the wort boil. First Wort would occur immediately - no steam, when the wort was around mash out temps, likely somewhere around 168*F, I would gather.
Stupid question. My reading is that the brew length was 220 Imp bbls. I've tried adjusting the recipe down to 19 litres, but get a ridiculous rate of 9 grams of lager malt.
length Imp bbl Litres Per litre Homebrew
220 36014 1 19
Grist lb kg kg kg
Lager 728 330.22 0.009 0.174
I get 0.24 Kg of lager malt. Where is the 36014 coming from? The weight of the grist is 9,744 lbs.
220 Imperial Barrels is 36,014 litres unless I've stuffed that up. Have I buggered up how many pounds in a quarter? I have 1 quarter is 28 pounds. Forgive me if I'm wrong, Ron, I am Australian.
These are volume quarters. They're 336 lbs.
not going to lie, Imperial measurements can die in a ditch. Thanks Ron.
