Mashing scheme of X/MS 6th July 1960

Just about done with Youngs beers in 1960. We conclude with the mashing scheme. Always one of my favourites. 

It’s a rather typical London scheme, featuring an initial infusion, followed by an underlet. The process concluding with a couple of sparges. Nothing at all unusual about that. It’s much the same as you’d find at other breweries in the capital

A further 80 barrels of liquor were added to the first copper before the boil. Giving a total pre-boil volume of 350 barrels. The post-boil volume was 267 barrels. The first copper had an extended boil of three hours to hit the required gravity of 1041º for MS.
