MacKenzies 5000 Receipts contents To brew Burton ale. Of this strong ale, only a barrel and a half are drawn from a quarter, at 180 degrees for the first mash, and 190 degrees for the second mash, followed by a gyle of table beer. It is tunned at 58 degrees and cleansed at 72 degrees. The Burton brewers use the finest pale malt and grind it a day or two before being used. They employ Kentish hops, from six to eight pounds per quarter. cod Note by the American Editor.
