A TABLE _of the quantity of hops requisite for every quarter of Malt brewed for porter, supposed to be fit for use from eight to twelve months_. lb. Old ordinary hops started over old beer, 14 per Qr. Ditto, neat guiles, 12-1/2 Strong good old hops, when started over old beer, 12-1/2 Ditto, neat guiles, 12 New strong hops, when started over old beer, 12 Ditto, neat guiles, 11-1/2 New ordinary hops started over old beer, 12-1/2 Ditto, neat guiles, 12 N.B. The quantity of old beer to be blended with new is here supposed never to exceed one eighth part of the whole.

The hops once boiled in amber, but used afterwards for small beer, may be estimated equal to one fourth of their original quality.
