NOVELTY IN ALE BREwING.-The ale
brewers have inter rested themselves in expert
ments as to a meth od of saving and condensing
all the aroma of the hop. Or this they now lose
a great deal, and as hops are an item, whatever
confines TO the liquor all the virtues of the hop
is greatly to be desired. The Philadelphia
brewers have succeeded in periecting an appa-
ratus space for which was made in their brewery
by Messrs. Frederick and William Gaul. Having
proved of great value, 1t VIII be generally
adopted, and to some extent may revolutonZe
the process of brewing. The apparatus is
miniature brewery IN itself, as this and the
mash-tub are all that are required. The brewers
of the association out of the city have paid a
visit to the brewery and witnessed ITS operation.
It's value is shown to the expert in the absence
OF all the odor of hops that saturates the air sur
rounding any brewery, when the liquor is boil
ing. The odor is not unpleasant, but money is
flying off in it.
