Let's Brew Wednesday - 1901 Truman (Burton) No. L5 R

Now we start getting into confusing territory. As No. 5 has both Runner and Stock versions. Which means that it’s possible that the two were blended at some point. But it’s also possible that the Runner was sold straight in its mild form.

Any guesses what the recipe is? Yes, it’s a mix of four pale malts and an unknown type of sugar. Exactly the same as all the Mild Ales. With the one difference that the proportion of sugar is slightly higher.

Slightly different hops this time. Three English types all from the 1899 season. Along with a tiny amount of Hallertau from 1900.

No ageing for this beer. Though it may well have been blended with an aged beer.
