WHAT BEER IS MADE oF.-The
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue of
Washington has had the question of
materials which enter into the man
ufaeture Of beer in New York city
examined by some Of his agents there.
The main point Of inquiry was direct
cd towards ascertainiDg whether the
brewers are in the habit Of reporting
on the regular forms the materials,
other than malt and hops, which they
used. The result Of the examination,
80 far as it has been made kno wn in
Washington, shows that some Of the
brewers do not report any materials
used by them except malt and hops,
and that they do not even enter these
additional materials in their records.
Some Of them claim, as an explanation
Of this violation Of law, that they
have not been required to make such
reports. On the other hand the
officers Of internal revenue say that it
has been constantly required of brew
ers to make these reports, but that
thew have caused much trouble.
because they are extremely reluctant
to have it known that they use any
thing but malt and hops. The officers
say that glucose, rice, etc., must be
taken into the breweries at night.
The agents report that the brewers in
the Second District make complete
returns of materials. The detailed
report of one shows that many
brewers claimed that they used moth
ing but malt and hops, but still he
ascertained that some used sugar,
some corn-meal and some rice in addi-
tion. One brewery showed the use
ia month Of III 100 bushels Of malt
NO hops, and 3,047 bushels of other
materials. On inquiry, it appeared
that the latter item was all corn-meal.
At enc brewery, whore the returns
to the Collector showed the use Of
malt and hops only, investigation re-
vealed the fact that for every SO
bushels Of malt there was used 500
pounds Of coraline, although the lat
tor WAS not entered either on the
returns Of material received or materi-
81 used. Another large brewery,
which reported only hops and malt
as used, really manufactured their
beer in the following proportions !:
Malt, 1920 bushels; corn, $4,000
pounds; glucose, 5000. Another
establishment used malt, hops, corn
meal, and rice, the proportion of malt
and meal being so bushels Of corn
meal to $50 bushels Of malt. The
Last brewery examined had just abau-
doned the use Of glucose. The prac-
tice had been to use 900 pounds Of
glucose to every 165 bushels Of malt.
