Note 168 — Chapter VII · New Process for the Manufacture of Beer.

[It will be well for the reader to bear in mind, that the word “strength,” used by Pasteur many times in this chapter, has a different meaning to that which attaches to it in the minds of English brewers, who in nearly every case use it in reference to original gravity, while the author employs it, in this chapter, at any rate, to denote the palate characteristic of strength, in other words palate-fulness. For this reason we have thought it best in many cases to actually substitute the term “palate-fulness,” or “body,” for the literal translation of the French word “force.”—F. F.]
