Excerpt from A Text-Book of the Science of Brewing: Based Upon a Course of Six Lectures Delivered by E. R. Moritz at the Finsbury Technical College of the City and Guilds of London Institute

We do not pretend that a perusal of our work will enable a novice to brew beer; neither will a study of it convert a purely practical man into a chemist. We do not call this work a practical book; at any rate, it is not practical in the sense of giving brewers hints or suggestions as to the routine of their operations, or as to the various forms of plant in use. Such knowledge is only to be acquired by experience in the brewhouse, with the assistance of works like that of the late Mr. E. R. Southby, on the 'practice of Brewing,' to which excellent book we consider this a sort of companion. We do, however, intend this as a practical book in one sense, in so far that it is meant to lead the brewer to a better understanding of what we may term the physiology and pathology of brewing, and, by so doing, put at his disposal a means for more efficient control over his operations.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of the Science of Brewing: Based Upon a Course of Six Lectures Delivered by E. R. Moritz at the Fisbury Technical College of the City and Guilds of London Institute

At the invitation of Professor Meldola, F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry at the Finsbuiy Technical College of the City and Guilds of London Institute, I delivered at that College, in the winter of 1889, a course of six lectures on the Science of Brewing. At the conclusion of the course, those who had honoured me by their attendance were so good as to suggest to me the desirability of publishing the lectures in book form. On a consideration of that suggestion, I thought that such a publication might perhaps be of some service; and it was then my intention to limit myself to a re-perusal of the manuscript, and to its publication as such, after only those alterations had been made which seemed necessary from the literary standpoint On commencing the work, however, I soon came to the conclusion that to continue on those lines would be unsatisfactory: partly because the scope of the work would thus be very limited; partly because researches published since the date of the lectures threw an entirely new light upon several important matters, more especially upon the products of starch-conversion, and upon the changes occurring during the germination of the cereals. I therefore determined to go over the ground afresh, taking my lectures only as a basis for a more complete and general work than I had at first contemplated. Such a plan, however, involved more leisure than I had at my disposal, and I was obliged to seek assistance.
