As many Perfons are at this Seafon employ'd in making and - floring of CXUER, and as impraving that Liguor might ' be wery ferwiceable, and tend 1o leffen the Conjumption of - yeign Produllions, it may mot be amifi to give the following . Extracls a Place in yaur Paper, takon frem the Gentle- . man's MAGAZINE, publifp’d by One, wwko fays, be bas bad aaventy Years Experience of the Benefit of this Method. " ‘o make Goop CY DER, O maturate the juices it is neceflary to coi- lett the apples into heaps, in an open even and airy part of an orchard, unfhelier’d from the Rain and dews, which inftead of doing ; } harm, will difute the juices and promote a i ti)neegier fermenvation. Apples of varicus kinds swhich |nave drop’d from the tree, are to be gathered up and laid ‘in a heap by themfcives, and may be made into cyder af- s '7ur baving lain about 10 days. Apples which have ac- auired fome degree of maturity, and are gathered from the trees are to be laid in a heap by themlelves for about a fartnight. The later hard fruits, which are to be left on the trees till the approach of froft is apprehended, are to be laid in a heap for a mooth or {fix weceks, by which they will receive fuch a maturation as they could not have attained on the trees. The riper and mellower the fruics are at the time of laying them in heaps, the fhorter thou'd be their continuance there, and the harfher immaturer and harder they are, the longer fhould they reft. In fome counties the method is to make thefe heaps of appies ina _ boufe, or under fome covering inclofed on every fide ; | but this occafions a great lofe of juices, a general rotiennefs, «" rancid {mell, and difagreeable tafte. o Various prefles are in ufe, but none are to be compared io the great wring, or cyder prefs with two fcrews. The ivlechani{m is {o obvious that it needs no explanation. * As the cyder runs from the prefs it is to be received in- to-a veflfel fixed within the ground, frem whence as it fidls it is to be ladled out, and put into a catk with its head £ruck out, and a coarfe hair fieve fet over it that the cy- der may be firain’d and the grofler part of the pu'p inter- tepied. o From this veflel it is to be transferr’d into alarge open sat, which will contain a whole pounding or making of w.% Note, Grinding the apples too. fmall produces asficrity o and éit,!erm/{z, &, s Nuns. 3. GAZETTE, e e TR S cyder, ar as maeh as can be prefled in one day. Wheneq the cyder has remain’d in this vat a day, or fometimes lefs, &° accarding to the ripenefs of the fruit ard ftate of the wea- ther the groffer parts of the pulp will rife to the top, and in a day or two more grow very thick ; and when Lule white bubbles of the fize of the top of your finger break through, it is then prefentlyto be drawn off throvgh a cock or faucet hole within three inches of the bottom, if large, ! but not nearer than four inches, if {mall, that the lees may- be Iaft behind. If the cyder be not immediately drawn off on the firft appearance of thefe white bubbles, ail the head which is then become a thick cruft will fink to the bottom, and the epportunity of making fweet cyder will be loft. Cn drawing off the cyder from the vat, it muft be tunn’d into clofe catks weil fcented. Upon letting it remain a longer or fherter time in thefe cafks with the lees and im- go¥d®cs, the hardesing or fofiening it depends. To bave cyder perfetly fweet, it is to be careful'y watch'd afier it is tunned into clofe calks, and when the white bubbles arife at the bang hole, it is immediately to be rack’d off again into another clean 2nd well {cented catk, < which operation is to bes continusd till the cyder ceales hifing, and is as {weet as you defire. Weaker cyders3 will only bear one or two rackings: But to make the & bolder and ftironger cyders foft, mellow and perfetly {weet, the rackings mult be repeated till the fermentatation ceafes. The manner of making rough cyder differs from that of the {weert, in this, that the firft appearance of the white babbles may be difregarded, and the liquor not drawn off till the pext feparation. After the fermentation is over every hogthead mult'befili’d up to the bung, once a month; if this be neglefted the cyder will grow flat and heavy, and contralt an ill taite and fineil from he rancid air lodg’d . in the vacuity, Vent fhou'd be {ometimes given at a fpile- hole for three months. Until it has dore hifling, the bung hole would be beft cover’d with a tile or flat ftone, after that it fhould be clofely bung’d. % ofon, —~— and Furnald for Fyall Clearcd Out, Griffith for Halifax, Purfell fo ' 1 s > 5] s \ b = = 3 = 3 -2 RS 5 2, ® 2 Iy S ~ A.
