The above experiment was made in the Government Experimental Distillery in the year 1840, by two experienced revenue officers, and under the author’s inspection, while employed by Dr. Birkbeck in conducting certain operations then under investigation.
REPORTS
CONCERNING BEER SENT TO CALCUTTA.
In 1832, I brewed a small gyle of pale beer for the India market. The first worts were boiled one hour, the second one hour and a-half. I beg leave to subjoin the report made upon it in Calcutta.
"Calcutta, 8th August, 1832.—Report on two hogsheads of Black’s pale ale, examined in the custom-house godowns of Messrs. Lyall, Matheson and Co.—Two hogsheads of Black’s pale ale.—This pale ale, of superior quality, is well adapted for the India market, both in colour, body, and flavour.
