Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my invention for MAKING AND
PRESERVING AN EXTRACT OF HOPS OR OTHER AROMATIC PRODUCTS WITHOUT
LOSING THE FLAVOUR to be as follows:-
The chief object of my invention is to prevent to a large extent the escape of the
flavour of Hops and other Aromatic Products.
I employ a closed vessell, preferably one with a Jacket or other device for
heating and fitted with the appliances necessary. I put into this vessell any given
quantity of Hops or other Aromatic Products and add the necessary quantity of
Water or other suitable liquid according to the nature or quality of the extract
required at a tempreture of about 100 Farenheit and gradually increase the heat of
the infusion to about 190 this operation continuing for about 45 minutes I then
turn off the Steam or otherwise reduce the heat and allow the infusion to settle
for about 15 minutes I then draw it off and add to the remaining Hops or other
aromatic products about half the quantity of Water or other liquid originally
employed and boil until sufficient of their Properties are extracted I then draw the
extract off and mix it with the first infusion. When necessary I pass it through
any suitable Filter.
-
Another object of my invention is to mix the infusion, decoction or extract as
already described with Sugar, Glucose or Condenced Wort or a mixture of these or
other similar ingredients, in vacuo or in any other suitable manner, the flavour of
the Hops or other aromatic products is thus preserved and held in the Sugar &c
which will keep good for any reasonable time and may be used when and as
required.

particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The chief object of my my invention is to prevent to a large extent the escape of
the flavour of Hops and other Aromatic Products.
I employ a closed vessell preferably one with a Jacket or other device for
Heating and fitted with the appliances necessary. I put into this any given
quantity of Hops or other Aromatic Products and add the necessary quantity of
Water, Wort or other suitable liquid according to the nature or strength of the
decoction, Infusion or extract required at a tempreture of about 160 Fahrenheit
and gradually increase the heat to about 200 this operation continuing for about
40 minutes I then turn off the Steam or otherwise reduce the heat and allow the
Products to settle for about 12 to 15 minuts I then draw it off and add to the
remaining Hops or other Aromatic Products about the same quantity of water or
other liquid originally employed and boil until sufficient of their properties are
extracted, I then draw it off and mix with the firsts Infusion.

pass it through any suitable Filter I then mix the Infusion, decoction or extract
as already described with what is known in the trade as Invert Sugar Glucose or
Condenced Wort in vacuo or in any other suitable manner the flavour of the Hops
or other Aromatic Products are thus preserved and held in the Sugar Glucose or
Wort which will keep for any reasonable time and may be used when and as
required The properties of the Hops or other Aromatic Products may be extracted
by the ordinary methods of distilation or by any other well known means and
added as described to the Sugar Glucose or Wort.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is. The treatment of Hops and other Aromatic Products and the Products
obtained from them and their admixture with Invert Sugar Glucose or Wort or
other similar materials in the manner and for the purposes substantially as
