LeeD2 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I have a book on 17th century brewing bought at a reinactment fair. Some of the recipes are very interesting, has anyone tried historical brewing before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 A few on here have Bronzed Brews by Peter Symons with some older Aussie recipes in there. It's been on my list for a while. I've not tried any historical brewing myself but find it interesting to look over. What recipes have you come across from the 17th century?

LeeD2 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I'd rather you buy the book off someone rather than share the recipes with you as its from a small publisher and they could do with the money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Australian history: Not 17th Century but none the less. Taken from the book True Girt by David Hunt. An Unauthorized History of Australia - Volume 2. Governor Darling gets the sack, the boot, (the big A) from the Australian colonies and is ordered back to England. William Charles Wentworth throws a big party. “On the day Darling left for England in 1831, the Monitor advertised “Mr. Wentworth’s Fete and Illumination”. At which an ox and half a dozen sheep were to be roasted and washed down with Cooper’s beer to celebrate Darling’s departure. Four thousand revellers’ turned up at Vaucluse House to party, fight and riot in a distinctly Australian way. Wentworth, shouting and laughing, with a bottle in one hand and a bottle in the other, was carried above the heads of the adoring throng.” Maybe Mr Wentworth had just invented political reform, press freedom, the crowd surfing. Not a bad effort by Mr Cooper if that’s what / who the book was referring to when it said Cooper’s beer. Mr Thomas Cooper would have been about 5 years old at that time and still in England.

Then buy the book, that will give you a gist of things and you will be supporting the people that put it together or are you wanting everything for free? I will remember that when I need something, just take it and sod the consequences 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Haha, it's alright @LeeD2. Just a "Some of the recipes included x or y" was all I meant. I thought you might have gone into a little more detail after starting the topic. No sodding or breaking in to the author's home to steal their wallet.

We were actively trying to be part of the thread but I guess you wanted something different? To take our experience and knowledge but share little to none of yours? Seems fair right. This forum is about collaboration. If you just wanted to post about your book and provide no insight then you have only managed to make us aware of the book but have done nothing else to discuss it. Fair enough but again, a forum is about collaboration. Enjoy your book Norris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy81 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Obviously just a sales pitch thread...... You're on the wrong forum for that mate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB7 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 How about you share 1 recipe & we take up the challenge of "Ye Olde Ale" . If it works for some they just may want to buy the recipe book. Why would you buy a car without a test drive? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
