WORK OF 1903-4. 29 
January 25. — A complete analysis gave the following results: 
Specific gravity 1. 004 
Solids grams per 100 cc. . 2. 48 
Sugar do 64 
Alcohol do 5. 28 
Acid do 43 
Tannin do 041 
January ##,— Bottled 75 quarts. The cider was filtered through a 
gravity filter, as in the case of cask No. 6, which left it fairly bright 
and clear. The remainder of the cider was left in the cask and bunged 
tightly. The color at this time was pale amber; aroma fruity; flavor 
good, that of a sound dry cider. 
April 19. — The cider in the bottles was rather dull, with a strong 
yeast deposit, cloudy when shaken; decidedly gaseous; pours with 
good bead; fine bouquet; flavor slightly rough, but equal to No. 6. 
This barrel was also handled on the German plan of cellar work, 
and the results indicate that while this plan produces a fine, sound, dn T 
cider, it does not bring out those special qualities to be expected from 
the use of selected yeasts. 
Cask Experiment No. 8. 
The general notes are the same as for cask experiment No. 6. Cask 
No. 8 was sown on September 30, 1903, with 1 pint of } T east culture 
No. 66, prepared as for No. 6. Yeast No. 66 was isolated from a 
specially fine Pippin cider ten years old, procured from Huntington, 
Long Island, New York-. 
October 1. — Already in active fermentation; heavy foam resting on 
liquor, but air in barrel will still support flame; temperature of must, 
m- F. 
October 2. — Fermenting rapidly. 
October 3. — Fermenting more slowly. 
October 10. — Note as to condition same as for test No. 6, except that 
taste is a trifle inferior; specific gravity, 1.019. Microscopic exam- 
ination shows yeast numerous, large, and round. No head on liquor; 
temperature of the must, 57° F. 
October 20. — Note as to condition same as test No. 6; specific grav- 
ity, 1.008. 
October 27.— A partial analysis gave a specific gravity of 1.005: 
alcohol 5.21 and sugar 1.28 grams per 100 cc of cider. 
October 28. — Racked as in case of test No. 6. 
November 19. — Liquor pale straw amber, fairly clear, but not bright; 
aroma very good; flavor very good; specific gravit}% 1.004. 
January 23, 190If. — Specific gravity, 1.002.
