You will obviously be aware Ron, that this was the old Frederick Leney plant, which was one of the first breweries outside of London acquired by Whitbread; sometime during the 1920's.<br /><br />I never got to go round it, but I do remember calling in there to collect some yeast on a number of occasions, back in my home-brewing days. On my first visit I was told that the light ale yeast would be much more suited for my brewing, than the one used to ferment Gold Label!Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-25806216667064852152013-12-25T02:22:05.272-08:002013-12-25T02:22:05.272-08:00"horizontal cylinder diaphragm electric pumps..."horizontal cylinder diaphragm electric pumps.

So bright beer.<br /><br />FPM = Fine Pale (or Pilsner) Malt?<br /><br />I love Gold Label.....<br />Rodnoreply@blogger.com
