Based on visits to SO breweries in 1952, a survey has been carried out of heat requirements in the brewing process and of the efficiency of fuel utilization. Heat utilization varied with the size of the brewery, averaging 6·2 therms per brl. for those with outputs greater than 100,000 brl. per annum and 8·5 for those with outputs below this figure. Variations from brewery to brewery were in part due to the fact that some carry out ancillary processes such as grain‐drying and pasteurizing, but were also to a similar degree due to variations in heat utilization efficiency. Sources of loss of efficiency are indicated.
