I WILLIAM AUBERT Junior of Crossgates House, Balham in the County of
Surrey Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS CONNECTED WITH PRESERVING STORING AND AERATING LAGER AND OTHER
LIKE BEERS, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements connected with preserving storing and
aerating Lager and other like beers the object being to render Lager and like beer
acceptable to the palate without having recourse to pumps to aerate it at the time
of withdrawal from the vessel containing it. For the purpose of my invention
I make drums or other shaped vessels in iron or other material and arrange a pipe
or pipes within the same either at the heads or from the sides near the bottoms
By means of this pipe or pipes I force in carbonic acid or other gas or air under
pressure so as to charge the liquid.
The drum may have, preferably, an internal spherical vessel charged with the
Carbonic Acid gas, or with air under pressure, said vessel having a pipe provided.
with a two-way tap by the turning of which, passage is opened not only to the gas
but to the liquor in such a manner as to cause the gas to eject the liquid.
The outlet pipe is provided with a valve adjusted to suit the internal pressure
on the liquid.

Surrey Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for " IMPROVE.
MENTS CONNECTED WITH PRESERVING, STORING AND AERATING LAGER AND OTHER
LIKE BEERS" and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements connected with preserving, storing and
aerating Lager and other like beers the object being to render Lager and like beer
acceptable to the palate without having recourse to pumps to aerate it at the time
of withdrawal from the vessel containing it.
For the purpose of my invention which I show at Figure 1 of the annexed
drawings I make a drum or other shaped vessel A in iron or other material and
arrange a pipe B within the same, either at the heads C or from the sides to near
the bottom D. By means of this pipe B I force in carbonic acid or other gas or air
under pressure so as to charge the liquid.
The drum A may have preferably an internal spherical vessel E (as shown at
Figure 2) charged with the carbonic acid gas or with air under pressure said vessel E
having a pipe F provided with a two way tap cock or sliding valve G by the
turning of which a passage is opened not only to the gas but to the liquor by
means of the pipe I in such a manner as to cause the gas to eject the liquid.
For the purpose of charging the vessel E with carbonic acid gas or air I connect
a pipe H from the outside of the drum A to said vessel or to the pipe F.
The outlet pipe is provided with a valve adjusted to suit the internal pressure
on the liquor.
A valve is also provided to allow of the escape of excessive pressure on the
Lager Beer or other like beers contained in the drum.
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
1 The improved method of preserving, storing and aerating Lager and other like
beers in the manner herein before set forth.
2 The improved apparatus for preserving, storing, and aerating Lager and other
like beers consisting essentially of the drum A and the internal vessel E
with its pipe F for the discharge of the pressure gas and the pipe I for the
flow of the liquid to the outside of the drum substantially as described and
shown in the annexed drawings.
The 31st day of December 1884.
