Examination of several commercial beers showed that gushing is influenced by the presence of air and also of metals which are known to accelerate the development of haze in beer. The effect of a proved method of inhibiting the development of haze, viz ., filtration through nylon powder, was examined in connection with gushing. Such treatment of commercial beers and of a normal beer in which gushing was provoked by the addition of nickel resulted in a substantial reduction in the severity of gushing, but equivocal results were obtained from the treatment of unhopped beer with nylon.
