FROM GIN
Some gin has a particular blackness; to remove which,
take I ounce pulverized chalk and 2 or 3 ounces isinglass,
dissolved; put this into the gin and it will become trans
parent. The above is enough for 50 gallons. The blackness
which gin sometimes contracts by coming in contact with
iron, may also be carried down by putting a solution of
2 ounces isinglass and i quart skimmed milk into the
spirit.
