Gillman Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In my last three posts on my blog, I've been discussing how Canadian whisky's signature blended style emerged. This is the most recent posting: http://www.beeretseq.com/canadian-whisky-perfected-1870-1894/ The first two are immediately before it. I thought this may interest some here.

IMHO, this is a blog that if you don't subscribe to it, you really ought to Amen. Gary Gillman's blog is about much more than beer. For instance, his current discussion about the meaning of "sour mash" then and now triggered memories of my researching how best to use "wort" back when I home-brewed (we're talking decades ago here) which led me to refresh my memory about J.C. Jacobsen (Carlsberg beer) GIVING away the yeast his laboratory isolated. That yeast forms the basis for today's lager beers; prior to that, wild yeasts, or at least impure yeasts, were used which led to variations in results. Back to the thread - GG's blog is wonderfully unbiased RE: whatever spirit he writes about. The origins of, and the current direction of, Canadian whiskey is certainly of interest to me.

Gillman Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks to Gary and Harry for your kind remarks. Harry, not sure if you have heard that Carlsberg isolated the original lager yeast it used recently, harvested from a filled 1880s bottle. It recreated the beer using heirloom malts and hops and period techniques. A recent summary appears here: www.barclayperkins.blogspot.com by Ron Pattinson.
