Let.s Brew - 1896 Eldridge Pope XX

And here’s the XX which was parti-gyled with the PA above. Though, at first glance, it might not look that way.

Because this was almost all second wort, the boil time and the hopping are different. In fact. It looks very similar to the AK. The gravity and grist pretty much match. XX only differentiates itself by being more lightly hopped.

I’m struggling to think of much more to say about this beer. It’s all pretty simple. Just base malt, flaked maize and sugar. Though the 50% of the base malt was made from foreign barley, the other half from English barley.

Two types of hops, both English, with no vintage or type specified.
