SATURDAY, AUG&S&U, 1855. 



A notice has just appeared in the Maidstom 

 Journal, signed by all the leading Hop factors in 

 the borough, which declares that the brewers have 

 sustained most serious losses from the use of the 

 sulphur to check the mould in the Ifoj and that 

 they shall feel it their duty to c nd from the 

 growers a declaration that tins practie has not been 

 adopted before they purchase any II«>pe. 



Their manifesto contains the following paragraphs: 

 "It has now hem practically ascertained beyond 

 [uestion that Hops i >wn under such treatment 

 impart so obnoxious a smell and flavour to the beer 

 brewed from them as to render it unsaleable ; and, 

 unhappily, we could multiply instain-es of losses 

 arising from this cause to the extent of thousands 

 of pounds. 



" It would appear that sulphur in moderation 

 applied in vapour during the process of drying 

 produces no deleterious feci ; when actually in- 

 corporated into the plant by its application during 

 its growth, it impregnates the beer with it flavour 

 to such an extent as to render it unthinkable.' 1 



There are one or two statement here which, we 

 think, require some observation. It is quite incorrect, 

 for instance, to state that the sulphur is ever incor- 

 porated into the plant by its application during ita 

 rowth. The application is wholly external, and it

We, however, beg leave to doubt the justice of 

 the statement of the Hop fact rs without more dis- 

 tinct data than they have yet thought proper to 

 bring forward. The Hops which are submitted to 

 the vapour of sulphur in the kiln must 1 e impreg- 

 nated with sulphur to a great extent. So much 

 sulphur is used that a kiln man is as easily recog- 

 nised at a few yards distance as the unhappy out-

no *uch dressing, and it is notorious how trifling a 

 circumstance will affect the flavour of the vintage. 

 It must be remembered, too, that a wry few Hop 

 grower only used the sulphur, and it seems there- 

 ore almost impossible that loses to the extent of 

 thousands of pounds should have been sustained in 

 cases where it is capable of proof that the Hopa 

 were derived from gardens in which sulphur was 

 used. The solution of the case is m all probability 

 far more easy. The ixtremelv high price of Hops 

 has induced brewers to use noxious subsl tutes for 

 Hop rtobuy cheap and damaged foreign samples, and 

 they are now willing to cover inch practices, which
