Let's Brew - 1888 Tetley X1

Next on the Mild pile was X1, logically enough.

The recipe is pretty much the same as X, even though the two were not parti-gyled together. Which is to say a combination of pale and mild malts along with some sugar. The last again being the enigmatic “Inchity”. Whatever that might be.

It’s really just a slightly beefed-up version of X. Which isn’t surprising, really.

The hops were the same as in X. Just a few more of them. Kent from the 1886 and 1887 harvests, Alsace from 1886 and Altmark from 1887.
