"GOOD HOME BREW."
recipes from forefathers.
Although the number of private persons who brew their own beer in Britain is not so great as it was, there is still a large number. A Customs official stated lately that the "cottage brewer" can make his own sparkling ale or his nut brown October Brew at' small cost.
There is/a large number of these private brewers in the United Kingdom, he said, and they are mostly countrymen who brew a small quantity each year_ for themselves. They are not allowed to sell it, nor even to give it away to relatives, and they must not use more than four bushels of malt in the process. Tho charges made by the Customs are according to the value of the brewers' premises." The total number of persons who hold a free license in the United Kingdom to brew beer is 54%, and 40 of those " poor brewers" are! in Scotland. Many cottage brewers in England brew according to recipes handed down from grandfathers and great-grandfathers, and they take a pride in tlie fact that their liquors are only compounded of three things—inalt, hops and water. .
