Let's Brew - 1901 Truman (Burton) No. 8K

I was mistaken about Ale being Truman’s weakest Mild. Because this version of No. 8, is weaker.  While in 1883 No. 8 was a little stronger. Not sure what’s gone on there.

There’s not much difference from the Ale recipe. Just less sugar – only around half the amount. Once again, there were four types of pale malt, two made from English barley and two from American. Though the latter only made up a little less than a quarter of the total.

The hopping was a little heavier than for the Ale. Once more there were three types of English, in this case all from the 1899 harvest. There was also a small quantity of Pacific hops, also from 1899.

Don’t be fooled by the K in the name. This wasn’t a beer for ageing.
