Let's Brew Wednesday- 1910 Barclay Perkins PA

The brewery’s original Pale Ale was brewed in far smaller quantities than XLK. This batch, for example, was a mere 62 barrels.

Only two ingredients are in the grist: pale malt and No. 1 invert sugar. Though, as usual, there were multiple types of base malt. Around a third was made from Californian barley, another third from Hungarian and the final third from English. All malted in the UK, of course.

Note that, unlike XLK, there are no unmalted grains. A sure sign that this was a fancy, expensive beer. Which is one reason why this wasn’t parti-gyled with XLK, as you might have expected.

Another reason the two had to be brewed individual is the hopping rate. PA’s was much higher: 13 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) to XLK’s 8 lbs. Much heavier dry hopping, too. Three times as much as in XLK.

The hops themselves were East Kent from the 1910 harvest, along with Worcesters from 1909 and `1910, both cold stored. The dry hops were East Kent from 1910.
