I've seen some writings about beers with more hops but I've never seen a lot that has more hops than this one. Not what you are going to expect either. <br /><br />I hope someone out there is making all of these and can put together a great set of taps of proper 19century Scots beers!!!Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-7066366927753675772011-09-23T00:30:50.037-07:002011-09-23T00:30:50.037-07:00Kristen...

Especially a beer such as this with the relatively high finish gravity for the starting gravity. <br /><br />Non-filtered, non-pasteurized beer would be a beast to do let alone is this 1868. The crown cap was what about 25 years away from its patent and I don't see a beer this small getting proper corked...although that may have happened it just doesn't fit the bill. <br /><br />That being said, i would infer it was indeed for bottling as the 'packaging' units are 50:50 for hogsheads (54gal) and butts (108gal). I've only seen butts, or tuns, used in logs when things are going to get bottled from them...especially the Scots logs.Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-17269237847858178832011-09-21T14:02:07.024-07:002011-09-21T14:02:07.024-07:00Barbarrick said...

A good clue to to support that is the high mash temperature. "Bottling Grade" is a term that was frequently used in old-time brewing parlance.<br /><br />However, in those days it would have been rare to bottle anything under 1050; even in these days it is rare to bottle anything under 1050 without filtering or pasteurisation. So I suppose it could be said that the jury is still out on that one.Graham Wheelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-19326970658320283512011-09-21T09:32:02.101-07:002011-09-21T09:32:02.101-07:00Oblivious,

Well here is your chance then!<br /><br />Barbarrick,<br /><br />Its wicked hard to say with Younger. The names are all over the place in the logs. They have shilling indications for some but that actually didn't indicate what the beer was actually sold as.<br /><br />More importantly, might just do No3 for next week so you have something light and something heavy to drink!!!Kristen Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212694853976179911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-44830309358157021182011-09-21T07:15:20.709-07:002011-09-21T07:15:20.709-07:00Another great recipe and perfect -- all we've ...Another great recipe and perfect -- all we've got in is pale and black malt!
