Thanks Garth
I forgot from the last time how un fit-for-purpose my MT is when it comes to Durden Park beers, it was full right up to the top. Literally about 25mls away from over-flowing

Nice! I'm going to brew that recipe soon. I've got a Pendle Witches Brew clone I'm going to do, largely because I just had a fabulous bottle of it. The last one I had was total crap.

You won't regret it, Whorst. The ones I've tried have been nothing short of fantastic

Where do you get the 19th century brown malt?

Well this disappeared into a cool Yorkshire cellar last weekend for some summer conditioning. Think I'll allow myself a sneaky bottle sometime in July to see how its getting on

Brown malt has changed a lot of the 19th Century as it no longer and an diastatic enzymes. the stuff used in the early 1800's would have but after the invention of the drum roasting (1812-15 i think) this began to drop off. Modern does not have any but still needs to be mashed, but its fantastic in porter and stouts and well worth playing around with
