Anyone got a recipe for Adnams Old ale ?

Another Connoisseur of fine beer My Missus went to school with Lyndsay Adnam and I can't get the recipe I do know that at one time they added chopped apples to the brewing vat, but beyond that I have very little idea . . . . although I would suspect that it would be something like the Durden Park Tally-Ho! brew of 1878

Per gallon for an OG of 1.088

2lb 9 1/2 Oz Pale
16 1/2 Oz White Sugar

2.9oz Fuggles

Mature for 10-12 months . . .. Of course Tally-Ho! is a much weaker beer now than it used to be

Strewth Aleman that brew comes in at around 8.5%
I might adjust that recipe you have but I dont think I have the patience to wait Twelve months!
Our local had a barrel of Adnams Old on on sunday night which didn't last long.
Memories coming back and am sure the brew was about 4.1%

The Old I remember used to be served in Halfs only and you were not allowed more than two . . . or four if the landlord knew you . . . at 4.1% it is well reduced in strength

Tally ho! is currently still being brewed and is around 6.9% . . . the old Tally-Ho! from that recipe would have been 8%+ and on the weak end for a Victorian Strong Ale

Hi Aleman, is that the recipe for the 1878? Tally-Ho is a cracking beer. Theyre quite dark beers and i guess this recipe would produce a pale ale colour so should there be another darker malt in there? I might be wrong; I only ever have it at the in-laws in Suffolk as their local always has it at Xmas and I cant usually remember much the day after drinking it so it could be bright purple for all i know.

Yes that is the 1878 Tally-Ho! I must admit that I love the old Adnams beers, I'm not so keen on the new ones like Explorer . . . Wish I could get a look at the brewing ledgers from around 1980, when Old was really an 'old' ale
