It effects great saving in freight by ships or land carriage, owing to its very small bulk. It offers the convenience of being able to brew fresh beer from it when wanted* as I 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 ierment 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. . j Good wholesome-beer with the strength and flavour, of the finest Kent Ales can be producedin a few hours at less cost than the present carriage on colonial beer to country, districts. ." ; ; . :•' ' ; • Prospectuses and full particulars can be obtained, and a trial is solicited by ".:■ ~ PREECE & GRAHAM, j Vaile's Buildings. ,<■ "EXCELSIOR" BRAND. .
