» Look Inside The Book
Here is the first edition of W.L. Tizard's work on brewing -- a comprehensive guide for the professional brewer. The book is relatively exhaustive for its day. While most brewing manuals of this period were hard-pressed to break 200 pages, Tizard's volume weighs-in at a hefty 520 pages. See the Chapter List below. The full title of this 1843 book, as stated on its title page, is: "The Theory and Practice of Brewing Illustrated: Containing The Chemistry, History, and Right Application of All Brewing Ingredients; An Exposition of the Newly Discovered Principles of Conversion and Extraction in the Mash-Tun; The Philosophy of Climate, Season, and Site; The Modus Operandi of Fermentation, and the Effectual Prevention of Acidity: Also, Practical Observations on Brewing London and Dublin Porter, East India Pale Ale, &c. &c." Tizard, who desribed himself as "Professor of Brewing, Nine Elms, London," revised and re-issued this book a number of times in later years. By 1857, the book was in its 4th edition, indicating that brewers must have found it to be a useful tool.
