Let's Brew - 1906 Drybrough PI 60/-

Next up the strength ladder is PI 60/-. At least I think so. I had at first thought this was the strongest of the three Pale Ales. But, on closer inspection, it turns out to be the middle one. It was hard to tell, given the three were pretty well always all parti-gyled together.

No need for me to go through the details of the recipe. Because – you guessed it – this beer was parti-gyled with PI 48/-. I like to include beers from the same parti-gyle. For the simple reason that I don’t want people to interpret slight differences between parti-gyles as actual differences in the individual beers.

In terms of gravity, PI 60/- is similar to an English AK. Making it a light Pale Ale. The weakest type produced South of the border.

The attenuation is slightly better than for 48/-. But I wouldn’t read too much into that. I’m sure that the true final gravities were lower. I’ve used the racking gravity from the brewing record. A week or two in cask would have knocked that down a bit.
