I came across this on Google Books! while looking for something else.

It may or not have a meaning ? but worth logging.

Quote:-

The London Gazette

Thanks Dave for your comments.

I can't see a connection from Selby to Glasgow.

However, it seems to me that these small families at Selby, who seem to be successful, made their money from brewing.

Beer was healthier in those days than drinking the town water, because it had been mashed. Online it says Mashing temperatures are 62 degrees to 70 degrees centigrade, which is above scalding temperature and killing some of the nasties.

As long as bottling is done in clean conditions and your brewery was/is kept clean, the beer was probably fairly healthy.
