COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Apparatus for Aerating or Rousing Brewers' Wort or
other Liquids.
FREDERICK RICHARD STONE Brewer 58 Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention is to facilitate the aeration, rousing and circulation
of brewers' wort or other liquid during the process of fermentation in the fermenting,
or other vessels, and when discharging the wort or other liquid over the coolers
which is clearly shewn in the annexed drawing: Figure 1 being a side elevation
Figure 2 a plan and Figure 3 a back end elevation of the apparatus.
For the purpose of my invention I fix the apparatus on the discharging outlet of
a fixed or portable pump the suction of which is connected with the gyle or wort
within the vessel and the connection between the delivery of the pump and the
apparatus is made by a tube or pipe such as A constructed of copper, gunmetal or
other suitable material fitted with a connecting union B of suitable dimensions.
At the end of this pipe is attached a spoon shaped dish C on the sides, ends, and
bottom of which are a number of holes D, a portion of which are drilled or
perforated through the metal at a tangent and a portion are drilled at right angles
to the inlet pipe A so as to distribute & spread the wort or liquid during its
delivery over as large an area as possible in thin streams upon the surface of the
gyle or wort to be aerated or roused. The spoon shaped vessel C is provided with
an hinged cover E with fastening such as F to prevent overflowing and for cleansing.
The apparatus with the pump may be made portable or fixed to the side of the
vessel as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what I
claim is.
The combination of the several parts of the apparatus herein before described for
the aeration, rousing and circulation of brewers' wort or other liquid, consisting of

page_text: a spoon-shaped vessel with inlet one end & cover, the body having tangential &
straight holes for distributing the wort or liquid over as wide an area as possible,
working in connection with a pump substantially as before described.
Dated this Fourteenth day of March 1894.
