Tetley Stout grists 1858 - 1896

Time for Tetley's Stout grists. Not that they will hold many surprises for you, if you've been paying attention. As they part-gyled Stout with Porter, the grists for the two styles are exactly the same.

Tetley's Stout grists begin deathly dull, just pale and black malt. Then in the 1890's suddenly get all interesting, with exotic ingredients like brown and crystal malt. The net effect of which is to leave it looking much more similar to Truman's Stout grist. Which is the classic London combination of pale, brown and black malt.

I wonder how Tetley sold their Stout. Some of their Porter is indicated as being intended for bottling, but not the Stout. Given the small quantities they brewed, I can't see their Stout being a draught beer. But, as I've yet to find any evidence of it being bottled, I can't say that for sure.
