Youngers 1913 No3 ale.

Ron Pattinson, has a couple of Youngers recipes that use nearly as much maize as pale malt, has anyone made a brew of this , and is it good ale. They kept making this ratio of grains until 1930 as Ron says, I* like a bit of corn, but 45+ per cent is unusual?

I saw these and was intrigued as well - I might have a bash at one out of curiosity.

I suppose a bottle of American lager might give an idea to flavour of the grist at least - obviously the beer will be much tastier due to the hopping and yeast :)

I've done a few of his older recipes that have smaller percentage of corn, it would be intersting to see what they would be like with so much. I doubt clarity would be a problem at least

some years ago King and Barnes sold a beer called Cornucopia that was advertised as having a high percentage of corn in the grist. I'm not sure how much maize was in it but it tasted pretty good.
