Started this mashing about 15 mins ago. It's a variation on my previous attempt at a Thrappledouser clone. The original uses Pilgrim for bittering but I don't have any so I've replaced these with Fuggles.

'Thrappledoser' is an utterly quality word...
What is it?
I'm thinking German?

Well, "..douser" = dousing - like flames I'd take it.
And Thrapple is apparently a throat.
Thrapple sounds like it could be a word originating anywhere from Scotland to Yorkshire.

Could be Scandinavian, Viking in origin... the British iles has been colonised by Horned Invaders in the past and lots of words, even Yorkshire terms, can come from them.

Seems to be Scottish - translates as:
windpipe; throat, gullet
All of which need dousing on a regular basis

Now we know the origins of 'Black Sheep - Rigg Welter' too -
http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/Beers/ ... elter.aspx
rig-welted descriptive of a sheep which is stranded by being laid on its back hrygg (spine) + velte cf Norwegian ryggrad (spine, backbone) and velte (overthrow, overturn); Swedish ryggrad (spine); Icelandic hryggur (back, spine) and velta (tumble, fall). The Standard English ridge may be associated with rig.

Finished up at 1016 - I haven't used Windsor before but I wasn't expecting it to finish this high. Tried rousing and turning the heat up but it's definitely finished. Anyway, it tastes decent enough so I'll probably keg it this evening.
