Anecdotally, it’s a terrible idea to brew with an all-wheat mash. But, if you ignore that advice you can brew with all wheat in no time. There are a couple of worries though you need to make sure your mash doesn’t get stuck, and you should worry about diastatic power.
‘Baltic Porter’ is a style reminiscient of porters brewed in England in the 19th century. These were successfully exported to the Baltics during the same period where the style remains a more true to the original than in the UK. Baltic porters tend to be stronger at around 7% ABV and are now usually brewed with noble hop varieties more common to the region. Unlike modern day porters this style does not always include roasted malt resulting in a darker brown rather than black colour.
The Vicar of Wakefield: A Tale supposed to be written by himself is an Irish sentimental novel that was widely read in Victorian Era Britain. One copy of which was the only non-religious text found aboard a small river boat seemingly abandoned on King William Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago when the boat was came across in 1859 by the McClintock Arctic Expedition; who also found two skeletons inside. Leopold McClintock had set out to locate the remains of an 1845 expedition by John Franklin, but would return only with some relics - silverware and buttons they had traded for - and a short written log retrieved from a cairn. The wreck of one of Franklin’s ships was eventually rediscovered in 2014.
