TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
of!R ,—For some time I have been in the habit of
tng my table beer, rather than have the trouble
th, relying from malt. I watched the discussion on
di44.,equivalents of malt and sugar in the brewery and
alilery question, and saw in the Morning Chronicle
fat from a practical brewer, in which it was stated
t 140 lbs. sugar was equal to a quarter of malt. I
it°lated the relative costs, saw the great benefit
it I:1g from the use of sugar, and brewed, producing
te,,,,er as good for fourpence as I had been giving
tabrnae per gallon for, and with this great advan-
4, that to the last drop it was not flat—in fact, it
teak hopped wine.
brewed a nine-gallon cask of stronger beer, using
14.1 sugar, 11b. hops, and a peck malt, instead of
1)1, but found no advantage in the malt.
Ite'B4 the poor but the means, bow easily could they
citiW themselves a good beer for field work, or to
ilk at home and smoke their pipe over.
you Promulgate my plan as far as I can.—l am, Sir
obedient servant,
