Let's Brew - 1880 Strangman Single Stout


This beer I can understand better. Called “Single” in the brewing record, it’s obviously a Single Stout, which is Ireland really means Porter.

The recipe is generally the same as for Beer. That is, a combination of pale and black malt. The big difference is that there’s more than double the quantity of black malt. Which leaves this beer with a proper Porter-like colour.

Only two types of hops this time, English from the 1880 crop and Oregon from 1879.

Was this beer aged? Probably not. Though There may have been a portion of aged beer blended in at racking time.
