There were lots of new faces at tonight's meeting. Kristen
showed us the difference between a kegged and bottle conditioned
Belgium style beer. If you are bottle conditioning use Danstar
Nottingham yeast, "it drops like a rock" (quote from Eric). So
now we know that heather in a beer does not make it a Scottish ale!
There was no heather in Kris's Scottish beers; it was an example of a
making three beers from one mash, a method called gyling or
parti-gyling. 60/-,
70/-, 80/- or 90/- are not styles of beer, the shilling " /-" value was
a reference to the wholesale price of a 54 gallon hogshead of beer.
There more information about Shilling beers and recipes from Kristen at
Ron Pattinson's blog. |
