Notes: Added syrup to the primary. Will taste the product after taking FG and possibly use this instead of primary sugar if there flavour doesn't come through enough.

Notes: Add grain to 8.5 gallons water at 153°F for a target mash of 147°F. Hold mash temp for 60 minutes. Recirculate mash until wort is free from large amounts of grain. Drain off wort into boil kettle for ~8 gallons (sparge as needed). Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at 15 minutes and flameout as specified. Drain off ~6 gallons of wort to fermenter. Add glucoamylase to wort as directed (NOTE: glucoamylase is denatured at higher temperatures. Do NOT add to kettle). Pitch yeast as directed. After terminal gravity is reached, add dry hops and crash after two days. Package to higher carbonation (~2.7- 3 Volumes CO2).

Notes: This is a scaled down (and slightly adapted) historical recipe, or as close as I can manage anyway.
I won't be drinking this for about 3 months..the real thing was aged in the barrel for a year.
Originally, it would have had an ibu of 177! But, it was then aged before bottling and shipped for a few months. Even so, I'm eager to taste this ale.
It is not possible for me to replicate malt, water, yeasy and brewing/storing equipment exactly, so this will be a very loose replica.
This recipe is adapted from one I saw on a website, which in turn was quoting from a book
'The homebrewers guide to vintage beer'　2014. The author of the article and, I presume, the book is Ronald Pattinson.
I have adapted it to an export-type by making it stronger and have given more weight to late hop additions. It will still have very high ibus.
I have reduced the the original hop additions (90,60,30) and added aroma and dry hop additions, but apart from that it is very similar. Even the yeast is based on the same strain, Whitbread. 11g of S04. According to the yeast calculator this is an over pitch by 17%. I am hoping that this will actually help dry the beer out too, bringing it closer to the target ale profile.
Export IPAs would have also been exposed to Brett in their extended journey in barrels. This would have made the beer highly attenuated and dry. I cannot replicate this, but have instead added sugar in the hope that it will have a drying effect.

Brew day notes: mash temp very low 61-64... Pot was almost at the brim. Boiling water poured in, heat applied but not v effective. Low temp actually may work to dry it out too. Dunk sparge with 2 litres 80c water.
Pre boil gravity adjusted 1.098! Very fermentable wort. 8 litres final volume at OG 1.064. Might lack body, but will be very dry and spot on ABV for historical IPA. Let's see.
Day 5 of Primary fermentation gravity is 1.010...This is going to be an interesting brew. Already above 7% abv, so bang on for historical export strength IPA. I over pitched the yeast, but happily achieved the attenuation described in the recipe article.
4 day dry hop of Kent Goldings.
Day14 still 1.010.All done bottle tomorrow.
FG sample didn't taste like a modern IPA, more like a non-citrus hoppy barley wine, but with more conditioning and carbonation who knows what it will turn out like? Always knew this would be an interesting brew...

Notes: Take the .75 lbs of chocolate malt and steep for 24 hours 3/4 of a quart of water.

Split batch in 1/2
one will get k97 to become a common

the other will get the cold steep extract added at into the fermenter and us05 plus cocoa nibs for a porter

Notes: - 1 to 1.5 lb air-popped popcorn in the mash.

- Air pop the popcorn and add to the milled malt just before mashing. (1 lb of popcorn is about 2 cups unpopped kernels). Popcorn will soak up the water about the same amount as milled grain does and sink. I stir once during the step mash.

- Add the light honey at flame out. Do not boil honey or you will loose the honey flavor, (orange blossom, light clover etc). I use raw clover but any will work.

- Aim for low IBUs, 10-15 at most, no more or it will overshadow the honey.

- Use very low mineral water, I start with distilled.

-Do not do a protein rest, it destroys the head on this beer! A hochkurz mash schedule or simple infusion mash @ 150 degrees is fine.

- Use a high attenuating yeast, Rocky mountain, Diamond, Copenhagen, 34/70. You dont want any fruity tastes from the yeast.

- Most definitely improves with lagering; 6-8 weeks. The light honey taste will start to become noticeable. If you can keep out of it while it lagers its a great beer.

*Named after my dog Popcorn, who was my quality control guy on brew day. He vigilantly watched for anything that fell on the floor and got a bowl of spent grain at the end of the mash. I made dog cookies out of the remaining adding either pumpkin or peanut butter. PS he absolutely hated popcorn, wouldnt touch it, go figure...He passed 03/29/22 and is greatly missed.
