So I have great interest in brewing the odd traditional or historic beer. So I dredge the internets for any snippet I can of what beer used to be. I always say the most traditional thing about beer is ingenuity, just seeing what happens with this ingredient or that.
Then I got to wondering about precarbonation beer whilst finishing off a flat but tasty brew from a growler that hadn't been sealed properly. Flat beer, it had to happen.
However, I came to find that carbonation has been around for quite a while. The better people began sealing it up, the better and more carbed it got, and the longer it stayed that way. Been that way so long specifically formulating a flat recipe just for kicks has become moot. heh
Seems it was around, if not before, the 17th century that they figured out what to do to keep it carbed. And fancy rich folk got bottle conditioned ales back then.
So then I got to wondering about big ol' casks of yore. Carbed from the start and going flat as it was dispensed of course. In fact there's a growing movement from beer drinkers in the UK and a growing increase in producing cask conditioned ales just like way back when.
Anyhow just felt like sharing and takin up some forum space. lol
