HUT WATBh NATs
The conversion of sugar Into alcohol must
be slow. II fermenting runs too rapidly,
by reason Of defective yeast or unsuitable
temperature, ,attemporators must be brought
into play and coils of pipe connected with
tho refrigerating plant must be placed in
the vats.
Inventive genius has reduced this part OF
the brewing to science. By light
pressure OF the hand, the turning OF a
small wheel, the pressing Of button. the
brewer is enabled to regulate the tempera-
ture Of these oceans Of turbulent, foaming
liquids.
These fermenting tuns are of Titanic
proportions. They hold three hundred to
four hundred barrels.
The workmen seem mere pygmies. While
the fermentation 10 progressing they clam
Der up ladders TO the tops Of the vats, skim
the beer with huge ladies, tasting and touch
ing the liquor In tests, in order to deter
mine when to draw it of into the resting
tuns.
When the fermentation has gone far
enough tho beer is drawn of into the rest
ing tuns by hydraulic and air pressure, the
only manual labor involved being the turn
ing of cocks and faucets or depressing
levers.
These resting vats are three stories under
ground, and tho weather is stinging cold.
The walls and ceiling arc festooned with
ice to tho depth of three to five feet, and
every vat is thckly incrusted with frost.
When tho fermentation is completed the
wort has been transformed into beer. But
II is not yet lager" beer. 1t must pass
through several processes yet before 1t is fit
for use.
II must rest for time In the resting vat.
Then It Is tranferred to the storage casks,
where the process Of fining takes place.
The beer IL fined by the use Of chips or
shavings, usually cut from beechwood.
In fermenting the beer has become muddy,
and small particles are in the liquid. The
beschwood chips attract these particles.
They cling to the chips, and thus the beer is
fined ~ 1t 10 drawn of into tho storage
kegs.
Concurrently. the process Of krausening

acid gas has escaped from the casks and
vats. and q second fermentation must be
produced to re-enliven the beer. This Is
done at this time by adding one-ffth Of new
beer to the old, through pipes connecting
with the fermentlng vats.
The beer having passed from the vats into
the storage casks must remain to "lager"
on the layers or frames for the purpose
from Ave to eight months, when 1t takes
another winding journey through miles of
pipes, emerging bright, clear and brilliant
into the racking room.
The racking begins. The men attach
their bits Of hose to the faucets, turn on
the beer, and the beer flows through the
hose to tho kegs, one after another, in de-
licous amber color. Other men close up the
kegs by driving the bungs in as rapidly as
they are filled.
Each bit Of hose has glass tube at the
lower end, enabling the racker to detect any
change in the color or clearness of the beer
and when anything wrong is detected, the
stream is shut of, and the cask 10 turned
over to the proper authority in the brewery
for rectiHcation.

Apound OF yeast for every barrel OF the
wort Is now put in, and this induces fer
mentation at once, the process that grad.
ually converts the Saccharine principle into
alcohol and carbonic acid gas, and places
the beer in the category Of intoxicating
beverages.
The fernonting-room is in the very sub
cellar OF the great brewery. 1t Is absolutely
dark and as cold as Greenland.

Beer IN THE MAKING.
Processes Through Which tho Malt

genuIty Employed.
Modern Methods Of Brewing About
which Little 10 Generally Known.

New York makes one.third more beer
than IL drinks, yet there was drunk last
year 1s4 quarts of the amber nectar to each
man, woman and child OF the 100000
people found-and counted-by the police
census takers.
Az the average "glass Of beer " is not
more than one-third Of quart, apparently
everybody in tho metropolis, from the
babo in arms TO tho frosty grandsire, in
dulgcd in glass Of Gambrinus's favorite
beverage every week day in the year and
twice on Sundays.
The evening world., 1891-05-28

1t is still unfcrmented, and the process is
only Just begun. At the opportune mo-
ment tho brewer opens the valves and the
sugar-ladeu liquid passes through pipes
and flltering apparatus down into the
" copper or boiling kettle below.
While this Is going on, the brewer has set
in motion the "sparging machine. It
sends constant fne shower Of water on
the still revolving, MASKING mess of grain
In the tuu, washing out all that remains Of
goodness in tho malt and making large
saving to the provident brewmaster.
Descending with the brewer to the floor
below, the visitor enters the brewroom and
is struck with the probable accuracy of the
old saying that whom brewer has nothing
to do he polishes up his utensils. Here the
copper kettles shine resplendent, and per-
feet forest of pipes from the floor above re-
nect ono's image on every hand.
The liquid that has come down from the
msshing-tubs into the coppers contains all
cf the ingredients Of the "body" OF the
beer. The extract of highly nutritious
grain, It Is "liquid bread"
The evening world., 1891-05-28


All tho nourishing qualities of the grain
are not yet extracted, however, and the
brewer sells the matted and mashed grain
to dairymen, for 1t makes splendid food for
cattle, producing rich milk and inducing
large yield of milk.
But to return to the brew. The coppers
have covers with small sliding doors, and
they are never opened during the boiling
save TO enable the brcwmaster to make his
tests. The heat for the boiling is furnished
by steam boilers which send continuous
current of steam through coils fixed in the
coppers.
And now, after q suf1cient boiling, the
hop Is added to the wort-tho bitter to
the sweet. Tho boiling OF the wort has
usually been going on for three hours when
the brewmaster empties several large sacks
of aromatic hops into the copper, and an
hour later the boiling 10 complete
The hops added to the wort transform
fermented barley Juice, drink that was
known TO most OF the ancient nations, into
beer.
Hops form the preservative of beer.
Without this tender plant beer could not be
preserved for any length Of time, and itS
navor would be inferior TO the popular
drink Of tho day.
The hops are delivered at the brewery
packed in large bales, each weighing lsO
pounds. The brewer breaks the hop cones
into fragments by an ingenious machine
invented for thepurpose. They have been
carefully selected by tho buyer, who has

When the beer is racked and the kegs
filled, Government tax stamps are pasted
on the spigots, the kegs arc loaded into
the waiting delivery wagons, ana the beer
goes out into the world to cheer and com.
fort the thirsty.
All kegs are thoroughly cleansed when
they return empty from the retailer, and
100 barrel-washing machines are In use in
one brewery. The kegs are washed with
hot water inside and out.
The operation is automatic. All the
workman has to do is to place the keg
over q contrivanco consisting OF an upright
spout that passes in at the bunghole, and
turn on the water that comes with much
force through main pipe, four arms hold
ing It In place.
The outside Of the kegs is washed by a
scrubbing machine, which turns the keg by
o mechanical device and scrubs 1t with q
