56/- Ale recipe
Not sure if everyone has got the What's Brewing Magazine from Camra just yet so i apologise if i am spoiling it for you now.
In their 1/4 Beer magazine they're looking back at some old beer recipes that have disappeared one of them being 56/- Mild.
Mash 500gms of Pale Malt in 1.5ltrs of water for 60 minutes. Sparge with 2ltrs water, Into this steep 550gms wheat flour, 55gms of crystal malt and 30gms of black malt at 60c (140f) for 30 minutes. Hot wash with 1.5ltrs of water. Add 20gms of Fuggles in a muslin bag and 500gms of DME loose. Boil for 60 minutes to around 1.060. Leave for a month.
How does this recipe sound you?
2 Questions came out of this.
1. What is wheat flour? Would it be exactly what it says on the tin? I.E. What you'd find in the baking area?
2. What is hot washing? I've never heard of that in brewing before.

Yeah thanks for spoiling the surprise Neil, where the hell is my copy!
Okay, the recipe sounds cool, pretty basic but I guess it would be.
I would guess that Wheat flour is crushed wheat malt, but I could be wrong.
Hot washing is just sparging, again I guess but would seem appropriate with the instructions.
Fermenting:
Conditioning:Pale with Styrians
Drinking:Cascade Pale Ale, Summer Lightning

Aaaaah sorry Greg...
I didn't mean to spoil it for you.
Crushed wheat malt would make sense for sure. It looks an interesting recipe that's for sure.

Camra have got a problem where mailing lists have gone wrong so it may be worth while phoning them to make sure you are still on the list to recieve the mags (I wasnt!)

They messed my membership up completely .. but eventually sent me two membership cards about a month apart with a big apology letter. I didn't even realise something was wrong. They took the renewal money from my account though
(with grateful thanks to the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and slightly adapted)
