WAHL, ROBERT; HENIUS, MAX - American Handy Book of the Brewing, Malting and Auxiliary Trades a Book of Ready Reference for Persons Connected with the Brewing, Malting and Auxiliary Trades, Together with Tables, Formulas, Calculations, Bibliography and Dictionary of Technical Terms. Copiously Illustrated
Chicago: Wahl & Henius, 1902. Second Edition. Flexibound. Aims to be "a pocket encyclopedia, by reference to which the brewer, maltster, refrigerating machine engineer, bottler, etc, as well as a person engaged in the commercial activities of a brewery, may find an immediate answer to questions that may come up in connection with the exercise of his calling, without requiring him to wade through bulky volumes and peruse quantities of information in search of a single item of knowledge." - Preface. Authors were Directors of the Scientific Brewing Station of Chicago and of the American Brewing Academy, as well as editors of the "American Brewers' Review," etc. "The plan of the present work was wholly novel - thus the editors had no precedents to guide them, but were obliged to seek altogether new paths. It contains much original work elaborated in the course of time by the Scientific Station for Brewing of Chicago. Special pains were given to the elaboration of an exhaustive and complete index, whereby, it is hoped, everything of importance contained in this book can be readily found." - Preface. "Substantially a reprint of the 1901 first edition, as only typographical errors have been corrected." - pg ix. "Max Henius (1859-1935) was probably America's greatest brewing scientist, in any era. Originally from Denmark, he studied under Professor Emil Hansen, a legend in world brewing science for his work on pure yeast cultures. Henius extended the work of Hansen in America." - Gary Gillman. "Robert Wahl (1858-1937) was a former classmate of Henius." - Wikipedia. [iv]-xvi, 1266 p. Index. Black and white illustrations. Bound in original limp black leather. All edges gilt. Floral endpapers. Bright gilt lettering upon backstrip and flap. 6.5" x 4.5" x 1.6" Clean, tight and unmarked with moderate external wear.
