Hair-Cloth is better than Reed for wrapping 
round the ground Pomace, when placed 
in the Press,—as not being so subject 
to the attacks of parasitic Fungi, the 
Pollen from which we vulgarly call 
“ Mold,” or “ Must.” 
Let all the Utensils and Casks be perfectly 
dry, sweet, and clean. 
Put the Juice, as it comes from the Press, 
into large open Tubs, and let it remain 
therein till the Head rises, which skim 
carefully off;—and then put the Cider 
into Casks, observing not to till them more 
than Three-Fourths full.—Dissolve One 
Ounce of the best Isinglass in some 
Cider, and mix it with that in each Hogs¬ 
head, stirring it well up.—Bung the Casks 
close, and let a Spile be put in the Head 
of each, and a little of the Liquor drawn 
therefrom daily into a clean thin Wine
