There’s still a long way to go with Truman’s beers. There are a lot of them. And I don’t think I have photographs of all of them.
The elements are the same as in No. 7 and No. 8, base malt and sugar, but not in exactly the same proportions. For some reason, there’s far less sugar here. And, obviously, there’s far more base malt. Which, I assume, must have made its character different from the two weaker Ales.
But, on the other hand, the hopping rate is a good bit lower here. Where it’s 4.5 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt, compared to 5.75 lbs. Which seems a little odd. It’s definitely a one-off though, as I have other examples with the same hopping rate.
Same hops again, Bavarian from the 1879 harvest and something that I can’t read.
