Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Brewing The difference that appears in the several processes of brewing, though executed with the same materials, by the same persons, and to the same intent, is generally acknowledged. The uneasiness this must occasion to these, who are charged with the directive part of the business, cannot be small: and, the more desirous they are of well executing the charge incumbent on them, the greater is their disappointment, when frustrated in their hopes. To remove this uncertainty, no method seems preferable to that of experiment, as it is that alone, which can establish this, and any other art, upon a solid foundation. But those, who have the courage, and grudge neither time nor expence, to multiply and to vary their trials, too often acquire the name of idle refiners, and, what is worse, too frequently deserve it. The operations of nature elude superficial enquiries. Where we have few or no principles for our guides, many experiments are made, which tend only to confound or deceive. Effects seen, without a sufficient knowledge of their causes, must often be neglected or viewed in an improper light; those that are remembered are seldom faithfully reported, and, for want of distinguishing the several circumstances that attend them, become the support of old prejudices, or the foundation of new ones.
