Jail ale.

I wonder if Chippy Tea tried his yesterday, and if so what he thought about it.

I had my first pint of Jail Ale in 1994, the year it was launched, at the Two Bridges Hotel near Princetown. I was immediately impressed, and tracked what was then called Princetown Brewery down to its original site in a large shed behind the Prince of Wales pub. I became quite friendly with the Brewer, Simon Loveless, from whom I scrounged yeast and advice for about ten years, until he became too busy setting up the present brewery on the nearby old Station site.

My stock beer is based on JA, the malts being in the ratio 25Kg pale, to 1.5Kg each of crystal and wheat should anybody want to make some.

Sounds tempting ... what hop additions do you recommend? Oops! Sorry, just found a bunch of earlier posts

Hi - is that for a 23l batch? I just put it into the Grainfather app and couldn't make it add up!

The crystal and wheat are a bit high. Should be 270gms.

Yeah 23l batch. Thanks CD.
