HALLEWELL'S MALT KILN PATENT,
TO MALTSTERS AND 13E,-WERS.

Gentlemen,
Referring to a notice in the newspapers of the grant of "Letters
Patent" to me for an Improved Method of Drying Malt on the Kiln,
I beg to apprize you, before the malting season, that the terms en
which you may participate of the advantages of this invention are
reasonable. and I ,hall be glad to show to you the plans and sections
of the kiln on the improved method. The cost of the alteration of
an old drying kiln will be very light, and additional drying floors
may be added in the same buildings.—(See plans and sections.)
The desidenturn, as ou are aware, is to be able to graduate the
heat from the commencemelit to the conclusion of the process. The
mcde now invented of generating and regulating the heat of the
kiln enables the utaltster to effect such a perfect dryness of the heart
of the malt by a moderate heat at the commencement of the process,
that the brewers may use with advantage a higher temperature in
their first ma-h than it would he safe to we, if not quite confi-
dent of the complete dryness of the interior of the grain. If the
malt he quiciay and irregularly dried, the exterior of the malt may
be well dried, and the interior be starchy and soft. An indicator is
attacked to this new mode, which will enable the maltster to com-
mence and terminate the process with certainty and precision.
When the malt is thrown upon the kiln it is In a state of germina-
tion, and susceptible of any flavour (as instanced in the malt dried
by a peat fire, when intended for whisky) ; the sulphur from a fire of
coke and cinder, arising through and permeating the malt, has an
unfriendly influence on the fermentations of the worts from that
malt. Sulphur is one of the agents employed in checking or stopping
vinous fermentation. The method now proposed of generating and
regulating the heat of the drying kiln is by Gas and Steam con-
jointly, or by Gas alone.
A personal application, or an inviry by Letter, for Terms or In-
formation, if accompanied by a reference, will have prompt attention.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
BENJAMIN LIALLEWELL.
