PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Ale and Stout.
SYDNEY HERBERT SHELDRAKE 13 Victoria Road Gipsy Hill in the County
of Surrey, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of ale and stout
by the introduction in the process of manufacture of calves head, calves feet, meat
or any other analogous substances of a nutritious nature with malt maltine or other
grain substances.
According to my invention during the process of brewing I introduce a proportion
of calves head, calves feet, meat, malt, maltine, hops, quinine or other analogous
substances and in my treatment of the same in the mash boiling vessels or
fermenting vats I produce an entirely new beverage. I claim that the ale and
stout prepared by this process will be a valuable medium for supplying nourishment
to persons who are in ill-health and unable to take food in its solid form and that
the qualities of ale and stout increase the appetite and enable such persons to
overcome any dislike to food which may arise from overwork irregular times of
taking food or weakness of digestion.

I SYDNEY HERBERT SHELDRAKE of No. 13 Victoria Road Gipsy Hill in the
County of Surrey Warehouseman 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 my invention is to manufacture an improved description of ale
and stout which will be a valuable medium for supplying nourishment to persons
who are in ill-health and unable to take food in its solid form and the qualities of
which ale and stout will increase the appetite and enable such persons to overcome
any dislike to food which may arise from overwork irregular times of taking food
or weakness of digestion. I introduce during the process of brewing for every barrel
of beer fifteen pounds of calves head or calves feet ten pounds of meat consisting
of bullocks heads and shins of beef two bushels of malt or twenty pounds of maltine
twelve pounds of hops and four grains of quinine. And in my treatment of the
liquor in the mash tun boiling vessels and fermenting vats by gradually raising the
temperature in the mash tun to one hundred and ninety degrees Fahrenheit after
a lapse of about two hours allowing it to pass into the boiling vessels and there
keeping it at boiling point for about four hours and then allowing it to pass into
the fermenting vats I produce an entirely new beverage.
The ordinary process of brewing is not interfered with but from the above
mentioned ingredients or some of them being mixed with the ale or stout in the
course of its manufacture a beverage is produced which will be a valuable medium
for supplying nourishment to persons who are in ill-health and unable to take food
in its solid form and which will impart to the ale and stout qualities which will

may arise from overwork irregular times of taking food or weakness of digestion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The manufacture and use of improved ale and stout substantially as and for the
purposes described.
The improvements in the manufacture of ale and stout substantially as herein-
before described.
