the rock, so as to leave sufficient declivity for the different compartments.
Mr. Berry, the proprietor of this concern, adopted our system of brewing in March 1836, when he first commenced brewing there; at which time, we expressed the highest approbation of the construction of his premises in every department, and our opinion that nothing but want of care could prevent his being successful in his operations. We here subjoin an extract from a letter received from him, dated the 8th of July, 1839:—
“My Dear Sir,
“I feel much obliged by the compliment
you intend passing on the construction of my
brewery in your coming publication, and shall be
much pleased if I can in any way benefit you by
proving the success of your method of fermentation,
from which I have never varied. With the exception of the small quantity of yeast you brought
about eighteen months ago from London, I have
had no change since the first commencement here,
9th March, 1836. I am to-day brewing from the
same store, and my gyle-tuns work entirely to my
satisfaction. With the exception of a chance cask
or two, not being sweet, I have not had a single
cask returned for any fault the last two years.
