A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON BREWING, BASED ON CHEMICAL AND ECONOMICAL PRINCIPLES; WITH FORMULE FOR PUBLIC BREWERS, AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR Private Families. BY WILLIAM BLACK, PRACTICAL BREWER. FOURTH EDITION. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, AND LONGMANS, PATERNOSTER-ROW. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. THE success of two Editions of the Treatise on Brewing, has encouraged the Author to offer to the Public a Third Edition, carefully revised and corrected. A considerable quantity of important matter has also been added, which has had the benefit of being revised by Professor Graham, of the London University, whose eminence in the science of Chemistry is universally acknowledged. In no instance does the Author refer to the opinions of others: all the information which he communicates being derived entirely from his own practical experience, in all parts of the United Kingdom. |
