The quantity of hops used may be varied according to the season, or whether the
stout be for home or foreign consumption. It is to be noted that the oats in
the process of malting do not require to be steeped as long as the barley, the oats
taking about forty-five hours, as against seventy-two hours for the barley. I need
not enter into the minutiae of the brewing of such oat malt stout, as the instructions
I have previously given are sufficient to enable any one acquainted with the art of
brewing to manufacture the kind of stout specified.
I wish it to be particularly understood that I do not limit myself to the precise
proportions of ingredients from which oat malt stout is made as hereinbefore
described, but that I hold myself free to make such changes and alterations as
conform with the disposition and всоре of my invention.
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 I am
aware that it has been previously proposed to use oat malt as one of the ingredients
used in the preparation of stout or porter, and I wish it to be understood that I do

liquorice, ground linseed, hops and water in or about the proportions hereinbefore
given and for the purposes as set forth.
