Which is why I've been chipping away at the "Free!" recipes for a year or so. I'm already up to 300 recipes. It's now a race. Which will I finish first: the text or the recipes?
We’re now with Crowley’s second range of Pale Ales. The ones described in an 1885 advertisement as “Bitter Beer”.
This is the weakest of the set, with a very low gravity for a pre-WW I Pale Ale. Usually, around 1045º was the absolute minimum. It doesn’t seem to have been brewed in very large quantities and doesn’t feature in their newspaper adverts.
What’s the difference between this and the other set of Pale Ales? Well, this lot are slightly more heavily hopped. And use No. 2 invert sugar rather than No. 3.
There are two types of English hops, both from the 1911 season.
