Ingredients:





     4 lb Dark malt extract


   1/2 lb Roast barley


   1/2 lb Crystal malt


     2 lb Dark brown sugar


     2 oz Fuggles hops


     5    Tablets


          Yeast


          Saccharin






 This recipe uses saccharin, but I will not use this in my beer;  instead I


 may  add brewer's licorice or lactose for sweetness.  The  amount  of


 fermentables also seems low; I would add a pound or two of light extract to


 increase the gravity to the mid-fifties. The recipe  also calls  for


 priming  with 3 ounces of black treacle, which is molasses.  This  seems


 low,  and it also seems that different brands  would  contain  different


 amounts of fermentable sugar. This recipe is for one of my favorite old


 ales---Old Peculiar. It  comes from Dave Line's book Brewing Beers Like


 Those You Buy.
