The Principles and Practice of Brewing

Abstract

THE publication of a new edition of this well-known book, which has been thoroughly revised by its author, the late Dr. Sykes in conjunction with Mr. Ling, and brought well up to date, should be welcomed by all interested in the scientific aspect of the brewing industry. In one respect we think the late author and his colleague have lost an opportunity in not revising the original plan of the book, together with the matter it contains, for we have always considered that the book suffered to some extent in usefulness from the manner in which it was arranged; but, however this may be, the work in its present form stands easily first among books in our language devoted to a consideration of the complex scientific problems underlying the brewer's art.
