PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boiling Coppers and in an Arrangement of Brewing
Plant for use therewith.
I THOMAS PERKIN HINDE of 12 Bright Street, Eastbourne, Darlington in the
County of Durham, Brewer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
I employ a pan of suitable depth made square, oblong, oval, round, or other
shape with flat or convex bottom, made of copper or other suitable metals with the
bottom application of heat; when gas is used a shield is formed around the bottom
of the pan, to retain the heat and smell which escapes, by preferably a funnel
outlet; the gas copper resting on a frame supported by standards.
A portable perforated plate is placed in the pan and is held in position by pro-
jections or rivets, this dispenses with the underback and hop back.
Where height is no object I arrange my plant in the following order :-Hot
liquor tank, mash tun, boiling pan and refrigerator, one above the other on the
gravitation system, so that there is no pumping.
The underback and hop back are again dispensed with by using the perforated
plate; the pans are made shallow, and so I obtain greater aeration of worts, the
cooking is also more perfect.
My gas burners consist of ball shaped burners, within which is a conical gas
jet, with wire gauze within the stem of the pipe, to make it burn steady,
and they
are upon the Bunsen principle burning gas and air.
Where height is limited, pump the boiled wort to the mash tun for further
gravitation purposes, to cooler, refrigerator and gyle. I also arrange at the top,
gas copper for mashing liquor, then at one side below, I place the mash tun, then
underneath, the boiling pan, then run the liquor, direct to refrigerator and gyle
tun at the side.
Dated this Tenth day of November 1890.
