Home Brewer's Guide to Vintage Beer correction

Someone just pointed out to me that the malt quantity for 1865 Lovibond XX on page 108 106 was unrealistically high. He was right because it is way off. Thought it might be a good idea to publish the correct recipe.


If you own the book, I'd recommend printing this recipe out and inserting it between pages 106 and 107.


January 4th 1865 Lovibond XX
Mild malt 14.75 lb 100%
Cluster 60 min 1.25 oz
Goldings 30 min 1.50 oz
OG 1064
FG 1018

Apparent attenuation 71.88%
IBU 35
SRM 5
Mash at 145º F
Sparge at 165º F
Boil time 60 minutes

Yeast Wyeast 1968 London ESB or
