The grist looks very different to that from 1941. But they have been even more changes than are at first apparent. This particular beer was brewed very late in the year, in December. And, in 1942, recipes were jumping around all over the place. Especially with regards to adjuncts.
Grits, rice, lactose and liquorice have all been dropped. Making the grist a good bit simpler. With a good bit more malt and just two adjuncts. One pretty obvious – roasted barley – and one rather less – rye. I’m presuming in flaked form, based on where it appears in the brewing record.
No surprise is that the OG has dropped. As has the hopping rate, a little.
Speaking of hops, they are all of a single type: Kent from the 1941 harvest.
