II.] BREWING. 35 



mentioned for the ale, in Paragraph 48 ; only, in this 

 case, you will want more yeast in proportion ; and 

 should have for your thirty-six gallons of small beer, 

 three half pints of good yeast. 



56. Proceed, as to all the rest of the business, as 

 with the ale, only, in the case of the small beer, it 

 should be put into the cask, not quite cold, but a little 

 warm ; or else it will not work at ail in the barrel, 

 which it ought to do. It will not work so strongly or 

 so long as the ale; and may be put in the barrel much 

 sooner ; in general the next day after it is brewed. 



57. All the utensils should be well cleaned and 

 put away as soon as they are done with ; the little 

 things as well as the great things ; for it is loss of 

 time to make new ones. And, now, let us see the 

 expense of these utensils. The copper, new, 51. ; 

 the mash ing-tub, new, 30s. ; the tun-tub, not new, 5s.; 

 the underbuck and three coolers, not new, 20s. The 

 whole cost is 71. 10s. which is ten shillings less than 

 the one bushel machine. I am now in a farm-house, 

 where the same set of utensils has been used for 

 forty years ; and the owner tells me, that, with the 

 same use, they may last for forty years longer. The 

 machine will not, I think, last four years^ if in any 

 thing like regular use. It is of sheet-iron, tinned on 

 the inside, and this tin rusts exceedingly, and is not 

 to be kept clean' without such rubbing as must soon 

 take off the tin. The great advantage of the ma- 

 chine is, that it can be removed. You can brew with- 

 out a brew-house. You can set the boiler up against 

 any fire-place, or any window. You can brew un- 

 der a cart-shed, and even out of doors. But all this 

 may be done with these utensils, if your copper be 

 moveable. Make the boiler of copper, and not of 

 sheet-ironj and fix it on a stand with afire-place and 

 stove-pipe ; and then you have the whole to brew 

 out of doors with as welj as in-doors, which is a very 

 great convenience. 



58. Now with regard to the other scale of brewing, 

 little need l>e said : because, all the principles being 

 the same, the utensils only are to be proportioned to
