WE have for sale a few cases SOLID WORT, for making Ale or Stout. It has not been imported entirely as an article from which a large profit could be expected, but with a view of introdiicing a great want • •• It possesses the following advantages :• • » Beer can be produced from it in places where it cannot be brewed in the ordinary way. It effects great saving in freight by ships or land carriage, owing to i,ts very small bulk. . It offers the' convenience of being able to brew fresh beer from it when wanted, as the solid Wort, if preserved in its original packages, will keep for years. No expensive apparatus is requisite for brewing : A wooden tub to liquefy and- ferment in, of sufficient size to allow space for.the rising of the liquid caused by fermentation,' the necessary casks, some small wooden vessels, and a few tools, mentioned in the instructions sufficing for the purpose. Good wholesome beer with the strength and flavour of the finest Kent Ales can be produced in a few hours at less cost than the present carriage on colonial beer to country districts., .
