Chapman grists in 1880

Time for the ingredients. Of which there aren’t all that many.

We’ll begin with the malts.  Only three of them. And two of those, black and crystal malt, only appear in the Stout. All the other beers only contain base pale malt.

It’s an interesting Stout grist. Usually a three-malt Stout grist would be pale, brown and black malt. While here it’s pale, black and crystal malt. With quite a lot of the latter. Not sure that I’ve ever seen a grist quite like it.

Total malt content averages out at 72%.  Which is on the low side. On the other hand, there are no adjuncts. But the sugar content is high. At 33%, the proportion in the two Mild Ales was particularly high.
