It was definitely a draught beer and the gravity - 1048 - matches the entry for 1935 in the table of Burtons.<BR/><BR/>It is slightly hoppier than the Mild and about the same colour.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-76473514127400864882008-01-09T04:56:00.000-08:002008-01-09T04:56:00.000-08:00Ron,Do you have any reference to the grists of, sa...Ron,<BR/><BR/>Do you have any reference to the grists of, say, Whitbread Burton? By the looks of it they were making it throughout the 1930s, but there wasn't any reference to it in the 1933 brewing log, if I recall. It wasn't the XXX referred to in the 1933 brewing log was it? I had pegged Burton for being similar in color but hoppier than beers in the Mild (X) family.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/><BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-18845026890513541732008-01-09T01:39:00.000-08:002008-01-09T01:39:00.000-08:00I'm pleased to hear that there is interest in my a...I'm pleased to hear that there is interest in my archive-based posts.

I actually learn something true about the history of beer and brewing by reading your blog, not just rehashed hearsay.Matthew D Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03632800892744296973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-64192702778712528572008-01-08T10:29:00.000-08:002008-01-08T10:29:00.000-08:00I guess it's the same way CAMRA calculated OGs in ...I guess it's the same way CAMRA calculated OGs in the 1970's, before brewers declared OG or ABV. Measure the FG and ABV and calculate the OG from the two. It's not a 100% accurate method, but based on a comparison of CAMRA's calculated OGs and the ones eventually declared by the brewers, good enough. <BR/><BR/>That CAMRA could find someone to do the analyses pretty easily, betrays how common it was amongst brewers. Let's put it this way: I've found gravity books in 2 of the 4 brewer's archives I've looked in.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad someone else likes the archive stuff. It fascinates me. I had been getting disheartened at the lack of response to them.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-62592753477717494642008-01-08T10:15:00.000-08:002008-01-08T10:15:00.000-08:00I love the archival posts.

Truman's purchased beer from competitor's pubs and based on the final gravity and alcohol content calculated the original gravity?Matthew D Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03632800892744296973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-40216330298502873572008-01-08T05:07:00.000-08:002008-01-08T05:07:00.000-08:00How odd.
