I've wanted to brew a recipe from Ron Pattinsons 'The Home Brewers Guide to Vintage Beer' for a long time, the problem was, which one? This isn't helped by his excellent blog, which keeps popping up with other great recipes I want to try out.
I also recently returned from a Scottish trip, where I had the opportunity to try out many a local ale, and fancy brewing something old and Scottish as well.
So, the quest to brew a perfect mild, bitter and brown ale is going to take a back seat while I have a go at the following brews. Firstly, from the book, an 1864 Lovibond XP. Then, from his blog, an 1868 Younger XP.
I'll keep you posted.
