The grist has become a little more complicated with the addition of a little sugar. I’ve no idea what type of sugar, as there’s no indication of any kind in the brewing record. I’ve just guessed No. 2 invert. There were four types of base malt, two made from English barley and two from Californian. With the latter making up around a quarter of the total.
The hopping is way heavier than in 1883. Which is pretty obvious when you look at the calculated IBUs. The hops themselves were all English, one from the 1900 harvest and the other two from 1899.
As this was the weakest Truman’s Mild Ale, there’s no way this got any older than a couple of weeks before being drunk.

your malt weights are out by a factor of 10
ReplyDeleteit appears that the amount of base malt needs to be increased in order to reach the ABV
ReplyDeleteShould that be 11 lbs of pale malt?
ReplyDeleteEr, is this correct . . . just 1.25 lbs of malt and a bit of sugar?
ReplyDeleteWhile it may be Truman's weakest mild ale, there has to be more pale malt than 1.25 lbs. to get an OG of 1.051. Typo?

ReplyDeleteThere was a 1 missing. The correct weight is 11.25 Lbs.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the hopping rate had increased from 1883, thought it would have gone the other way?
