Let's Brew - 1883 Truman (Burton) P1 Stock

Unsurprisingly, top of the Pale Ale tree is P1. In this case, a stock version. Despite not officially being named so, it’s a classic Burton IPA.

It’s generally pretty similar to P2 Stock. Just a little bit stronger. Though the hopping is quite different. Being just a single type of English hops. Or, at least, I think they’re English. In the log the description is an indecipherable squiggle. One thing I do know for certain is that they were from the 1882 harvest.

Not much to say about the grist. Which is all a single type of pale malt. Making this a SMASH beer. How modern.

Obviously, this beer underwent ageing. At least twelve months in trade casks. Possibly even more. Which is why I’ve reduced the FG from the racking gravity of 1022º.

What is SMASH?

Would this have been blended with a running beer?

Or has Stock come to mean what they previously called keeping beer?
