HAVING cmjiloycd milch of my Life In the Praflke of Cookery in all its Branches, I prefume to offer the following Sheets to the Public, in hopes that they will find the DirecticKis and Receipts more intelligible than in moil: Books of the Kind, I have beflowed every Pains to render them eafily pradlicable, and adapted to the Capacities of thofe who may be ordered to ufe them. To wafte Language and high Ternas on fueh Subjedts, appears to rae to render the Art of CookWy embarraffing, and to throw DifftcuUies in the Way of the Learner- nor can the Reader rcafonably expedl any fuperiluousi Embellifhments of Stile from one whofe Habits of Life hye befn f&ivo, and not flu dious.

The Errors and Imperfedions of former Treatifcs firft fuggefted to me that a Performance )ike the following would be acceptable to the Public, Jij one Article that of trnffing Poultry, I have endeavoured tp give particular and ufdfid DiredtionSy becaufe po Book of this Kind has contained fuch tha: Subject having been univerfally overlooked by them-p-9and in this, as

well

well as in all other Branches of the Art of Cookery, I hope the Reader will find much Improvement, and many ufeful Hints. The Cpn tents I have endeavoured to render a$ complete as poflible, tlat the Learner may have immediate Recourfe to whatever Article may be wanted.

Aware, however, of the DifBculty of my Tafk, I fubmit this Performance, with Deference and Refped, as I am confcious that Errors will creep into the beft Performances, and that the only Merit I can claim is, that of having corrected the Mifhikes of former Works, and added the mofl ufeful Improvements derived from my own Pra£Uce and Experience.

Heifer, or young cow beef, is clofer grained, and the fat whiter than the ox, buc the lean has not fo bright a red; if you can fee the udder try if there is any milk, or the teat open, if not you are fure it is young; bull beef has dill a clofer grain, and the lean of a deep red, the fat is (kinny and hard, and has a rank fmell; be fure to mind there are no bruifes, if there is do not buy it, for if you fait it it will be fure to (link.

The different pieces in a bullock contain the head, tongue, and palate, the intrails are the kidneyj Ikiru, and tripe; there is the double the roll, and the reed tripe, the heart, liver, and lights.

The fore-quarter contains the haunch, which includes the clod, marrow-bone, ihip and the flicking pieces, that is, the neck end; the next is the leg of mutton piece, which has part of the blade-bone in, then the chuck, the brifket, the fore rib, and middle or chuck rib.

The different joints in a Iheep are, the head and pluck, whichincludes the liverj lights, heart, melt and fweet-breads The forequarter contains the fhoulder, neck, and bread. The hind-quarter the leg and loin though two loins together make a chine; the two necks and part of the fhoulder cut on diem are the faddle, which are two fine joints, if the mutton is fmall and fat. ?

LAMB.

IF the eye is bright and plump in the head, it is frcfl, but if funk and wrinkled and the head looks dry, it is dale. Mind if the vein. in the neck looks of a fine azure blue, if fo it is frefh; if it is green or yellow, and the meat looks dry, it is dale; in the hind-quarter if there is a faint fmell and -feels clammy, and the knuckle liniber, it is not frefh.

If the bloody vein in the (houlder looks blue or red, and when you fqueeze It bleeds freely, it is frelh; but if it looks black, or yellow, and the knuckle withered and dry, it is ftale.

PORK.

YOU mvttt. be paniculaily careful in the choice of,pork, for when it is mcafly it is very dangerous to be

eat. You will know whether it is meafly by the following maxim: rake and fqueeze the lean between your hands, and if it is meafly there will appear little fpccks like fifhrs eyes, and the infide of the throat, '

the liver, and lights, will be full of them, and the fata very pale white; if young and good, the lean yiWl break on pinching it, the flcin very thin, and will dent by nipping it with your finger and thumb; the fat and lean ot a fine white, like veal, and fofc as velvet. If the lean is red and tough, and the fat flabby and fpongy, and feels rough, it is old. If off %

a young boar, or a hog gelded at its full growth, 4

the lean will ? be hard, tough, red, and of a rank rammifh fmelL If the meat is cool, ftiff, and fmooth, it is frelh; if clammy or flimy, it is dale. Be furc to run your finger under the twift of the leg;;

if it is frelh, you may be affured that the reft is fo,

as it gets mufty there fooncft. The pieces in a

porker are the head and inwards, which is the heart, '

liver, lights, crow, kidnies, and fkirt; the maw and the guts, which areeithermade chitterlings, or cleanfed ";

for hogs puddings. The fore-quarter s the foreloiji, and ipring. The hind-quarter is the leg and hind-loin, or cut thus; cut a Iparib off the fore quarter and the hand j cut the leg like a ham j then .'

cut off the belly-piece to fait, and with a chopper cut it about an inch from the chine, cut it all through and take off the rind; the chine-bone makes a fine grifkin, and the other the fwcet-bonc. A bacon hog !

F E N I S O N.

AS venifon is the deareft article that is bought of flefh kind, fo you (hould be more circumfpeft in the choice of it the haunch is undoubtedly the fined. Run a fkewer under the bone, and if it fmells fweet, ic is good but be fure that the thick part or cufiiioti does not look green, if it does it is ftruck and ftinks all through; the infide of the flioulder will look red if frefh, if ftale it will look black and green; the neck part ftinks firft on the fide, and looks very green and clammy, run a fkewer into the thick part of the neck, and if it fmcll fweet the neck is fo 5 be fare choofe it with the fat white and very thick on the haunch and neck; if you have occaGon to keep ic any length of time, and have an ice well, wipe it dry with a cloth, and pepper the infide well; put a ihcet of paper all over it, and put it on the ice, and when it comes out hang it in the air two or three hours to' tak of the damp. If you fliould have it hang- ing in the air, and you perceive it is likely to lighten, be lure to carry it into a cellar where no lightening can get to it, for if it ftrikes it, it will ftink in a few hours; the different parts are the head and umblcs, the fry and chine, which is very good to make foup with; the haunch, the flioulder, and the fide, which is the neck and breaft. Buck venifon comes in fealbn the 1 ft of June, and lafts till the middle of September. Doe venifon conies in about the middle of Oflober, and lafts till January; likewife the heifer, which is a buck fawn cut while it is young.

Canterbury is efteemed the fined, and is. a pale colour; fo is the Oxford and London. It is known to be old by the thickncfs of the rind % if thick and hard it is old, but if moderate it is young. The find and fat of barrow or low brawn is very tender.

HAMS.

THE Weftphalia hams arc cut longer, and are thinner than the Engliih hams. The Weftmoreland and Yorkfliire are chofe by the fliortnefs of the ihank and thicknefs in the cufhion; put your trying or penknife under the bone, and if it comes out clean and has a good fmell, it is fweet and good, but if it is daubed and has a rank fmelj, it is tainted or tufty and be fure not to buy it,

BACON.

THE Hampfhirc, Wiltlhire, and Berklhire bacon is efteemeil the beft if the lean is of a fine red and flicks clofe to the bone, and the fat of a clear white, without any yellow ftreaks, and the rind thin, it is young and good; if any yellownefs, or the fat of a faint duiky wbite and feds fofc, it is rufty, or foon will be fo.

IN the firft place, take great care that your fouppots and covers are kept very clean infide and out and well tinned, otherwife the verdigreafe will gee in them which is the mbfl: pernicious thing of any to the health of thole who eat the different ibups and broths you make, and give the foups, &c. a brackifli, difagfeeable flavour. When you proceed to make any brown foups, fuch as Gravie Vermiceli, or De Santea, always put a little lean ham or bacon at the bottom of you foup-pot or ftew-pan, and cut your meat fmall, as you fooner get the virtue of tl)e meat out, with a little water at the bottom; cut your roots and herbs as directed in the different re ceipts (be careful always to have them well picked and wafhed clean before you ufe them put them over the meat, with the fpicesj cover your pot very clofe, and dew it gently over a flow fire, till you find all the juices of the meat and herbs are drawn out; which will make your foup have a finer flavour, than by purlsing a contrary condud; always be fure to flcim all the fat and fcum clean ofiP; foft water is much the beft for all kinds of foups and broths, except green peas foup, and then hard water helps the green colour of your foup.

Laftly, for all brown or white foups cut the cruft of a French roll in round or fquare pieces, about two inches over, and crifp them before the fire; and for peas foup, toaft the bread and cut it in dice, put it before the fire to crifp, as frying bread in butter or fat makes it greafy, and often gives the foup a naudous tafte,

Proper Rules to be obferved in dreJing Fijh,

AS fifti is a curious article in the art of cookery; it will not be amifs to give a chapter adapted entirely for dreffing it.

Be careful chat your fi(h kettles are kept clean from fand, or any thing picking to the fides, as the fcum of the fi(h will occafion, and that they are weU tinned, and the frying-pans the fame, your fat well rendered and clear: be lure to have your fifli well foaled, gutted, and walhed clean, before you drcfs it; when you boil it ufe fpring water, and be fure to let it boil before you put in the fifh, with fait according to the lize of the fifh; and when bioiled or fried dry it well with a cloth, for when it is wet it will not broil well nor fry crifp; never ufe any vinegar to falmon or trout, as ic draws the colour out; boil your fiQi gently, if you boil it quick it often breaks it to pieces, which very much disfigures it, and fpoils the beauty of your fifli;? for when whole, and locks well to the fight, it gives the company a good opinion of it; when it boils, and the fcum and froth rife, (kim it clean off, and take great care that your filh goes hot to tai)le, as nothing is fo difagreeable as cold fi(h.

As turtle is a fifii, we (hall give the dire6lions for rcffing i firft, fo proceed with every fort, and thq iSerent vvays they are to be drefifcd.

AS neatnefs and clinlinefs is requifite in a kiichen, as well in a cook's perfep as the uteniilsj it is proper that the cook (hould fee that all the pots nruce-pans, covers, and every other article is kpc clean from greafe and fand, and well tinned. In boiling all kinds of meat and poultry much care and nicety is required, particularly in veal, lamb, and poultry I it is often a great fault in putting too little water in the pot, as that often makehe tnings look black; be fure always to put in plenty of foft water make it boil firft and fkim it wellt fpr veal, Iamb, or poultry, 'before you put it in. As for large joints tf beef, mutton, or pork, it is beft to put the meat in the water coM, except in the hot fummer months, when you cannot make beef fait enough before it will fttnk; thep it is beft to put it in the water boiling, to ftrike the fait in.

Be fure to boil every thing gently, for if you boil itfaft it makes the outfide hard before the infide is warm.

Beef ahd mutton fiiould be rather under done, and allow one hour for every four pounds; veal, pork,

. and lamb fliould be thoroughly done, or elfe it is apt to fucfeit, park in particular: a knuckle of veal of eight pounds will take two hours boiling, a leg of twelve pounds thre hours and a half, a leg of pork of twelve pounds four hotirs, a leg of houfe-lamb of four pounds one hour and a quarter, a leg of

grafe lamb of fix pounds- one hour and three quarters, and fo on in proportion; Be fure to flcim the fat and fcum off as it rifes, and never leave your fheac Of poultry in the pot after it is done, as that oakes it foddenec), and takes out all the juices. If you ftiould be delayed in fending your dinner or fupper up in time, take the things out of the water, put them in a difli, cover them clofe withat:loth, and put the difb over the hot water 5 and .when you want them dip them in the hot water a moment before you fend them away.

ROASTING.

Proper Rules to be ohferved in Roqfting.

IN the firft plaire be careful that your fpiti and dripping-pan are kept clean, ? afid always put ne dripping or butter into the dripping-pan, before you lay down your meat or poultry to the fire, to have it melted ready to bafte with; finge your poultry with white paper, bafte them with butter, dredge on fome flour, and fprinkle fait on as foon i% you put them to the fire; and the fame with all forts of meat, be furC'to bafte it well as (bon as you lay t down, and fprinkle it with fair. Your fire fliould be itguUted according to the thing to be drefled, if it is very, little or thin you fhould have a brifk fire, that you may roaft it quick and nice; if it is for large joints, be fure to lay on a good fire to cake and always have it clear at the bottom. When your joint

_ L 3 is

is half done remove the dripping-pan and fptt from the fire, and ftir it up tQ make it bum clear and briik I and nevrr put your meat too clofe co the fiie till it 19 nearly done, for by being too near it often fcorches the outlide before it is wrm within. When it is nearly done the fauke will draw towards the fire; then take the paper off, bafte it with butter, fprinkle it with fait, and dredge fome flour on,, to nuke it of a fine froth. Figs and geefe (hould be roafted before a brifk fire but not too near, and turned quick; hares and rabbits require time and care, and be fure you mind that both ends are done enough: when half roafted cut the Ikin at the neck-end, to let out the blood, which will prevent tbem from looking bloody when they are cue up Wild fowls fhould have a clear brifk fire, and roafted till they are of a light brown, but not too much, nor till the gravy runs out, as that deprives them of their fine flavour; if you fee the gravy begin to run take them up dirw&ly. Turkies and tame fowls require more roafting, as they are longer in getting hot thnougb; they ftiould be often bafted, in order to keep up a ftrong troth, as it makes them of a fine colour and rife the better: and it is the beft method to keep all forts of meat well bafted, particularly venifon, lamb or veal, and -alfo hares i beef and mutton is fatter, and does not require fo much bafting. Be fure to have a fine froth on every thing before you take it from the fire.

In roafting of veal, you muft be careful to roaft it of a fine brown; if a large joint, a very good fire; if a fmall joint, a brifk fire; and if a fillet, loin, or the beft cnu ot a neck, be fure to paper the fat,, that you may lofe as little of it as poflible; Ifiykat a diftance from the fire till it is foaked, then put it nearer the fire, and when you lay it down bafte ic well with butter, apd often, all the time it 13 roaft

Mutton.

IN roafting of mutton, the loin, the chine, and the faddle. fhould have the fkin raifed and (kewered on; when it is nearly done take ofi the ikin, and put it clofe to the fire to brown, then bafte ir, fprinkle on a handful of fait, and dredge fome flour on to froth it up; tAe leg or flioulder wants no paper, except you put a little over the fat part of the leg.

Proper Rules to be objerved in making and

baking Pies.

WHEN you heat your oven, it muft be rcgo lated according to the pie you intend to bake: for a venifon pafty it muft be well heated, a that requires a great deal of foaking; and raifcd pb muft have a quick oven, and well clofed up, orelie your pie will fall in the fides. Never put any liquor in till it is half baked; then take it out, make a hole in the middle of the lid, and with a funnel put in what gravy you think fit; by this means your ingredients in the pie will eat better, and prevent it from looking foddened; and if the pie is raifed properly ic will not run, for when it runs it always fpoils it. For light puflT-pafte a moderate heated oven, but not too flack, as that will deprive it of the light appearance it fhould have; and a quick oven will catch and burn it, without giving it time to rife: the beft way is, to roll out a bit of pafte and put it into the oven, to try whether it is too hot or not. Iced tarts (hould have a flow oven, or the icing will be brown before the pafte is thoroughly baked. Wbco you put in a venifon pafty, raifed or meat pie, pot a flicct of paper over it, and that will prevent it from catching.

Great care muft be taken of the butter for making pafte, according to the different feafons, in order

to

3. ' 397

to kiatke it light and good: in cold weather it flbould be worked icy to make it pliable; and if fait huu ter, well walhed in frelh water. In hot weather yoa ihould put it in a cold cellar the over-night, in the nx)ming put it in cold fpring water, and handle it as little as poilibie. Make your pafte in hot weather as early as you can in the morning, before the fun has too much power, and keep it ig a cold place till you want to bake it

TAKE a quarter of a peck of fine flour, and rub in a pound of butter till it is fine, make it up in a light pafte with cold water, fliff enough to work it up, but do not work it too much, as that will make it heavy; then roll it out about as thick as a crown piece, put a layer of butter in lumps as big as a OQtmeg all over it, fpriokie a little flour over it, and double it, roll it out again, and double it three or four times, then it will be fit for ufe, either for pies, tarts, or any thing elfe that requires it. You may make a larger or fmaller quantity, by adding or di minifliing the quantity of flour and butter.

All wc intentl, h to give general dirc;ions fpr brewing, managing, and Keepin; fuch llrong an fmall beer thc may be necelfary m iie famHy, .

The fir'ft confidcration is, the bfcirtg ptovidcd witk Proper implenncnts and th coopa appearing jtbt

fifftobjefti ?. .'

The manner of fcttlng and idfition of thc Cfjiper.are firft fpr ouf confidcration: and the proper method is, to dividfe the fire by a (lop; and f the door and draught be in a direct line, the (lop (hould be erefted frorti the middle of each outline oif.tte grtitkig, and parallel with the centre fides of the opper: by this method the middle of the fire wifl be dircftly under the bottom of the copper, 'tSe ftop is compofed of a thin wall in the centre of tle right and left fides of the copper, which U.to afcend half the height of the copper; on the top muft be left a pavity, from, four "to fix inehe, for a draught for Ac half-part of the fire, which is next the door of the copper, and then the building mud ctole l round to th fitiflirtg at the top;

By this nldde ofcreaihg your copper, the het will obmnrtiinicate from the outward eart of your fire fttundxhc wtwafd.half of your copper, through the

cavity, as docs the fartheft part of the flue, whidi alfo contracts a conjundion of the whole, and caufet the 6ame to glide gcndy and equally round the boctorn of your copper.

Several advantages are derived from this mode of proceeding: the fuel being an obje&, is thereby greatly favtd; it has the fuperiority of wheel -rughts; wiih ijiem, if veiy particular attention is ooc paid to the hops, by ftirring them dowOj they we liable to ftick to the 0des and fcorch. This wiU very much hurt the flavour of your liquor. The .copper, by this method, will lait many years longer than by a wheel-draught; that drawing with t: much violence, that if your, liquor be beneath the communication of the Are the copper will be liable to be damaged; fo that by the other coQcrivances vou Qiay bou half a copper full without injury. There js a great advantage in this, it being impoflible to draw it clean oflr the mafh.

To give . greater expedition to the operation, yoo yhay wijh to ectend this advantage to a few pailsful, which is done without injury to the other; the whole of the other being drawn oC the copper will acoHBr plilh your intended purpofe next morning, which will prevent difturbing your reft; it running the whole night, will be ready to boil in the morning, 9nd fit to be added to the working of the other (ixiaU beer. In time the whole will be rendered complete for turning In purfping this method you are not under the neceflity of having your copper turned, which is not only difagreeablei but attended with a gfeat or pence.

Other inconveniencies arc too frequently found n copper?, their liaving been macie too cx to their intended quantity; the cpofeouence being, tht

tivith anf degree of rapidity or fafety, which muft be naturally fuppofed to be efitntial points. This in- convenience may be remedied: prepare good ftz foned pieces of elm, or any other proper wood, then ihape them like the viller of a waggon wheel, being half its chicknefs, and join them round, to m:.ke the dimenfions of the circle of your copper. The rim of the copper, which turns over as a bearing at the top, may be beat up, and that part nailed to the bottom part of .the wood work, ingrafting between fhe copper and wood-work a cement, fuch as whit- iflg and bullocks blood, of the thicknefs of com mon whitewafli. This wilt prevent any leak, and laft a great while.

UGng this precaution, not to let the woodworlc join nearer than feven or eight inches to- the copper flue, or the communication of tlie heat; if there be any fear of penetrating .through that rtireion, nail either copper or plate iron j obferving the above cc- ment being equal to any folder for this purpofe.

This method is recomnVcnded only where ftop-i draughts are ufed 1 where wood may be applied with fafety, the fires of thefc never beiig fo furious that any damage can be done. For ereing other cop pera on difFerent conftrufttons, ftone, brick, or tarris mortar may -be ufed.

Great care (hould be taken of thek bting well fcalded and waihed; .and likewito thatr no dirty fbap-fuds are flopped upon them, which often happens, by permitting wafbing to be done 'in the brewhoufe.

In preparing your coolers, never let the water fiand ip. them too long, as it will turn putrid and tbr Itencb entering the wood will render them almoft

Others argue that it is by tpplyii the wtf er too 0iarp, that it, too hot, to oiafh with; but if the Wafer c£d not produce that fault, it has another equally dangerous, that is, when you malk with wa ter io exceedingly hot it is liable to fet the n(iak,wbicb will dog ic up fo that ic is almoft Botpofiible for Jt to run off; and when you have got over that alty by art, it never aafwcrs in point of goodndk

a hogflicad is required which may be made lik drawers pulling out in grooves, and refting on trcfCes, which may be very conveniently puc out of danger, as before-mentioned.

You moft keep the mafli-tub perfe&ly cleab; no grains fiiould be left in it .any longer than the dy after brewing, for fear it fhould four the tubs; for ihouid there be a four fmell in the brewhoufe beibjt; the beer is tunned, it may infed your liquor and worts.

To make your tub more perfed and lafting, take a circular piece of brafs or copper, to inlay and line die hole where the pen-ftaflf enters, to let the wore run off into the onderback. The penftaff ihouid be alfo fioutly ferrulled with the tame meral and both well and properly finifhed, as you may irtdi cafe place it properly: u5ng this mode, it will ran from the finenefs of a thread to the fulneis of an iach tube, &c. firft dreffing your niafli-baflcec with little buiby furze, without ftems or ftraw, fix or eight inches in, from the bottom of your balket, and let qte perpendicularly over the whole, with the pen-ftaff through the centre of the balket and the middle of the furze or ftraw, and fattened into the h(de of the tub. You muft keep it properly fleadys and for that purpofe take a piece of iron, let it into a flaple faftened to the tub, or the neareft part oppolite to the balket, and to reach nearly to it; and from that piece another, added to a jointed fwivel, or any other contrivance, fo as to be at liberty to let Ound the balket like a dog-collar, and to enter into a ftaple formed with the fame to pin it faft; and by adding a half-cii-cular turn in tne collar, in which you have room to drive in a wedge, which will keep it fafe down to the bottom, when there can be no danger of irs being difturbed by ftirring the mafli, which will othcrwife fomttimea be the cafe.

The copper, in procels of timej like every thing ielie, will become defcAive; when it happens, this fiaiple remedy inrill make it as perfedt as ever: work the pen-ftafF in the brafs fockec with emery and water, or oil, which wtU make it as perfed): as when new.

As an addition to the under, backs, get a piece of copper to line the hole in the bottom, which may be ftopped with a cloth put fingly round a large cork i and when faftened down for the wort to run, it will be necelTary to put a large weight on the cork, which will prevent its flying up by the heat. When the Jiquor is pumped clean out of the back, the cloth round the cork will enable you to take it out with eafe; and there fhould be a drain below the under back to carry oflF the water, which will enable you to wa(h it clean with little trouble. This drain Ifaould be made with a clear defcent, fo that no damp jnay remain under the back. With the conveyance of water running into your copper you may be ena bled to work that water in a double quantity; your under-back being filled by the means of letting it in at your leifure out of your coppery through a ihoot to the ma(h-tub, and fo to the under-back i thus you will have a referve agatnft the time you wi(h to fill your copper, which may be compleated in a few minutes, by pgmping while the upper cock is run jiing.

Thus much for the principles of brewing, but be cautious to keep every thing clean.

. Forty-eight foulhels of male will make four hog& heads of good ilrong beer as need be, and aifo fouihoglheads of very good ale; the ftrong beer (hould be kept two or three years, and the ale one year before tapped. If your mafli be only for one hogfbead, it Ihould be two hours running off; if two faogfheaids, two hours and a half; and for any greater quantity, three hours; for it Ihould not ihiy too long, as the ftrength may be cxhaufted by the fre quent droppings.

Great care muft be taken in the time of fleeping your mafhes ftrong beer three hours, ale one bour and if fmall beer half an hour. By thus proceeding the. boilings will take place regularly after eacJi other, and prevent lofs of time. Take great care in the courfe of each raa(hing that it is thorougMy itirred from the .bottom, and particularly round the mafii-ba(ket as it will prevent a ftagnstion in the whole body of the maih; and by omitting this laft procels it will fox your beer, and give it but an tn different taffe.

In preparing for the boilings be very careful to put the hops in with the firft worty or it will char m a few minutes As foon as the copper is fuU enough make a good fire under it but be careful in filling ir leavti room enough for boiling: boiUi quick is neceffary to be oblcrved, though in this there are different opinions; perhaps there is but one good method, that is, botKi quick. Parti cular cautbn Ihould be obferved when it begins €o fwell in waves in the copper; if you have no afBft ant, be particularly attentive to its motions, having an iron rod of a proper length, crooked at one end and jagged at the orfaer; with the crook you opea r I the

On the firft fwelt yofO will have fufiicient time to proportionate your 6rc% rea't precaucion fliould be taken that it is not too predominant: and when the boil is properly goi qih der, add a fire ro boil brifkly, varying a few mi iiutes.

As to the time it fliould boil, an experienced brewer takes a copper bowl-'difliy and take out ibmc of the liquor, and when they difcover a working and the heps fink, they conclude it fufficiendy boiled. Somerimcs this is compleated in thirty or forty pinutes; but according to the difierent quali ties of the male, this rule is often extended to five or ten minutes. Long and flow boiling is pernicious as well as wafting the liquor: the flower it boils the lower it drops, and finges to your copper quick jboiling has a contrary tmA. Efience cf malt 6 extraded by long boiling $ for by fb doing you may make it as thick as treacle or honey.

In feme parts of this metropolis they value their liquor for its ftrength, in affe&ing the brain two or three days after intoxicationj being the tfftSk of long boiling.

' Afier the liquor is properly boiled, run a final! quantity over all the coolers, fo as to have a proper quantity cold immediately to go to work, if the airinefs of your.brewhoufe will not expedite a quan tity foon, you muft run a fecond quantity over the coolers, and let them into fliallow tubs i put tbcit into any place where there is a thorough air but where no rain or wet csn get to it. Let off the quantity of two baring-tubsful from the firft over the fecond and third coolers, which may be foon got cold, to be ready for a fpeedy working, and then the remaining part that is in your copper may be quite let out into the firft cooler

In the interim mend your fire and tttend to the hops, to make clear paflfie through die fttiainer and as ibon as the liquor is done nmmog return (6 your bulinefs of pumping; but remeniiberf thac "when you have got five or fix pailsfult reurn all the hopa into the copper for ale.

By this time, the qijantky of liquor let tato your coolers being properly cooled, you mitft proceed ta fet your liquor to work: take four quarts of baum and divide half of it into fmall veflels, fuch as bafons or mugs, adding to it an equal quantity of wort, which would be almoft cold; as foon as H ferments to the top of the Teflel put it into two pails, and when that works (o the top put one Into baring-tub and the other into anodier; when you hae half a baring-tub fuH together, put the iiice quaotity to each of them, cover them, until it cornea to a fine head this may be compleated in three iiours: put thefe two quantities into ivorkingguile; you may now add as much wort as you have got ready you cannot work it too cold in opea weather.

If you brew In cold frofty weather, keep brewhouie warm, but never add hot wort to keep the liquor to Mood heat, that being a bad maxim % for hot wort put to cold, as well as cold to hotf is fb intemperate in its nature, that it Ihates the proper operation of the baum.

Be careful that your baum be not from foxed beer,' that is, beer heated too much by its working, for it is likely to carry the contagion. If your baum be flat, and you cannot procure that whieh is new, Am method of recovering its working is by adding to it a pint of warm fweet-wort of your nrft letting off the heat to be of half the degree of miUt-warm i then give your mug
