cold

water,

let

it

stand

uncorked

twelve

hours,

and

it

is

fit

for

use.

CIDER

WITHOUT

APPLES

To

each

gallon

of

cold

water,

put

one

pound

common

sugar,

one-half

ounce

tar-

taric

acid,

one

tablespoonful

of

yeast.

Shake

well,

make

in

the

evening,

and

it

will

be

fit

for

use

next

day.

Make

in

a

keg

a

few

gallons at

a

time,

leaving

a

few

quarts

to

make

into

next

time,

not

using

yeast

again

until

keg

needs

rinsing.

If

it

gets

a

little

sour,

make

a

little

more

into

it,

or

put

as

much

water

with

it

as

there

is

cider,

and

put

it

with

the

vinegar.

If

it is

desired

to

bottle

this

cider

by

manufacturers

of

small

drinks,

you

will

proceed

as

follows

:

five

gallons

hot

water,

thirty

pounds

brown

sugar,

three-

quarters

pound

tartaric

acid,

twenty-five

gallons

cold water,

three

pints

of

hops

or

brewers'

yeast

worked

into

paste

with

three-

quarters

pound

flour,

and

one

pint

water

will

be

required

in

making

this

paste.

Put

all

together

in

a

barrel,

which

it

will

fill,

and

let

it

work

twenty-four

hours,

the

yeast

run-

ning

out

at

a

bung

all

the

time,

by

putting

in

a

little

occasionally

to

keep

it

full.

Then

bottle,

putting

in

two

or

three

broken

raisins

to

each

bottle,

and

it

will

nearly

equal

cham-

pagne.
