Bottled versions would probably have depended on residual sugars. <br /><br />1877 is a funny date. Sugar was allowed in brewing after 1847, but only really became common after the Free Mash Tun Act of 1880. After 1880, it would almost certainly have been primed with sugar.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-77456952443260428762013-02-18T12:49:45.206-08:002013-02-18T12:49:45.206-08:00Ron,

This week I'm brewing a clone of this beer and I wonder how were the beer carbonated. In other words, if they were shipped in bottles - were they conditioned with remaining fermentation sugar or with add-on sugar? <br /><br />MarekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-57194021034320069392009-11-11T03:47:46.483-08:002009-11-11T03:47:46.483-08:00Zythophile, I would love to know more about the be...Zythophile, I would love to know more about the beers from Truman's Burton brewery. Things like 4 and 5. What the hell were they?<br /><br />There's still much more to discover.
