Plan, Machinery, and Utensils of a great Brewery.—Figs. 103 and 104 represent thearrangement of the utensils and machinery in a porter brewery on the largest scale ; inwhich, however, it must be observed that the elevation Jig. 103 is in a gieat degree ima-ginary as to the plane upon which it is taken ; but the different vessels are arranged so as llf- BEER. » 10 explain their uses most readily, and at the same time to preserve, as nearly as possible,the relatiye positions which are usually assigned to each in works of this The malt for the supply of the brewery is stored in vast granaries or malt-lofts, usuallysituated in the upper part of the buUdings. Of these, I have been able to representonly one, at A, fig. 103 : the others, which are supposed to be on each side of it, cannot BEER. 117 be seen in this view. Immediately beneath the granary A, on the ground floor, is themill; in the upper story above it, are two pairs of rollers, ^tg^. 101, 102, and 103, undera, a, for bruising or crushing the grains of the malt. In the floor beneath the rollers arethe mill-stones 6, 6, where the malt is sometimes ground, instead of being merely bruisedby passing between the rollers, under a, a. The malt, when prepared, is conveyed by a trough into a chest d, to the right of b,from which it can be elevated by the action of a spiral screw.
