A36054	Directions for brewing malt liquors shewing, what care is to be taken in the choice of water, malt, and hops : and in what proportions they are to be mixed, and how boyled and fermented, for making the best March, or October beer, strong ale, &c. : in a method never before published useful for all such as are curious in malt liquors / by a Country gentleman ; with a satyr upon brandy by another hand.

must_v first_o consider_v what_o sort_n of_o drink_v you_o design_n to_o brew_n and_o according_o proportion_v your_o quantity_n if_o you_o design_v your_o first_o wort_n for_o strong_a ale_n or_o march_n or_o october_n beer_n you_o must_v proportion_v five_o gallon_n of_o drink_n to_o every_o bushel_n of_o malt_n that_o be_v to_o say_v avoid_v fraction_n eleven_o bushel_n of_o malt_n to_o a_o hogshead_n of_o ale_n or_o beer_n but_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o in_o so_o great_a a_o disproportion_n of_o malt_n to_o drink_v as_o eight_o to_o five_o almost_o a_o three_o of_o your_o liquor_n in_o the_o first_o wort_n will_v be_v absorp_v by_o the_o malt_n never_o to_o be_v return_v and_o a_o allowance_n be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o about_o a_o six_o part_n to_o evaporat_a in_o boil_a so_o that_o if_o you_o expect_v to_o clear_v a_o hogshead_n of_o drink_n that_o be_v fifty_o four_o gallon_n from_o your_o first_o wort_n you_o must_v put_v into_o your_o mesch-tub_n near_o ninety_o gallon_n of_o liquor_n but_o for_o your_o second_o or_o three_o word_n the_o good_n be_v wet_a before_o you_o need_v put_v up_o no_o more_o liquor_n than_o you_o intend_v to_o make_v drink_n except_o a_o allowance_n of_o about_o a_o ten_o part_n for_o waist_n that_o not_o boil_a so_o long_o as_o your_o first_o wort_n and_o you_o may_v of_o your_o second_o wort_n make_v one_o hogshead_n of_o good_a middle_a beer_n or_o ale_n as_o strong_a as_o the_o common_a alehouse_n drink_v in_o london_n and_o your_o three_o wort_n will_v make_v one_o hogshead_n of_o good_a small_a beer_n i_o propose_v in_o this_o case_n the_o draw_v of_o three_o word_n because_o of_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o malt_n to_o a_o small_a of_o liquor_n otherwise_o in_o ordinary_a brewing_n where_o you_o design_v not_o very_o strong_a drink_n six_o or_o seven_o bushel_n of_o malt_n will_v make_v one_o hogshead_n of_o good_a strong_a and_o another_o of_o small_a beer_n and_o in_o such_o case_n two_o moakse_n will_v as_o well_o take_v out_o the_o strength_n of_o your_o malt_n as_o three_o in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o either_o of_o these_o case_n your_o malt_n will_v not_o be_v run_v out_o as_o the_o common_a brewer_n use_n to_o be_v so_o that_o if_o you_o take_v up_o a_o handful_n of_o the_o grain_n you_o may_v blow_v they_o out_o of_o your_o hand_n with_o your_o breath_n but_o it_o be_v hardly_o worth_a any_o man_n while_n who_o be_v not_o indigent_a to_o run_v it_o out_o far_o for_o his_o own_o family_n for_o all_o the_o drink_v you_o can_v after_o make_v of_o it_o will_v be_v but_o like_o the_o wash_n of_o grain_n it_o will_v prove_v poor_a stuff_n and_o if_o not_o drink_v present_o it_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o stink_v unless_o you_o mix_v it_o with_o some_o of_o the_o former_a word_n which_o it_o will_v but_o spoil_v beside_o what_o you_o leave_v in_o your_o grain_n by_o the_o way_n propose_v be_v not_o lose_v for_o if_o you_o live_v in_o the_o country_n they_o will_v nourish_v your_o cattle_n and_o swine_n and_o if_o in_o a_o town_n the_o poor_a will_v be_v gratify_v by_o let_v they_o put_v up_o some_o cold_a water_n to_o run_v through_o they_o which_o they_o will_v carry_v away_o cold_a in_o pail_n and_o boil_v at_o home_n without_o any_o trouble_n or_o charge_n to_o you_o so_o that_o in_o effect_v you_o real_o relieve_v the_o poor_a only_o with_o a_o little_a of_o your_o cold_a water_n which_o they_o themselves_o draw_v the_o proportion_n of_o hops_n may_v be_v half_a a_o pound_n to_o a_o hogshead_n of_o strong_a ale_n one_o

which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v long_o what_o come_v from_o the_o first_o wort_n will_v serve_v well_o enough_o to_o boyl_n again_o with_o they_o if_o you_o put_v into_o your_o first_o wort_n a_o great_a proportion_n of_o hops_n and_o boyl_n they_o all_o the_o while_o your_o wort_n boil_v you_o will_v make_v it_o too_o bitter_a but_o i_o conceive_v it_o adviseable_a to_o double_v the_o
