How
to
put
up
a
simjAe
Stand
for
Redifijing
Raw
Whiskey.
Purifying
spirituous
liquors
consists in
passing
the
liquor
through
prepared
charcoal,
sand,
or
gravel,
or
fine-broken
brick,
(washed
very
clean,)
flannel,
blanket,
and
charcoal,
particularly
prepared
for
this
purpose.
Take
a
good,
common,
tight
barrel
for
a
stand,
and
bore
one
of
the
heads
full
of
J
inch
holes,
J
inch
apart,
so
that
it
appears
like
a
sieve,
or
riddle
;
when
this
is
done,
take
the
perforated
bottom
out,
and
sink
down
into
the
barrel
within
2
inches of
the
lower
bottom
;
first
nail
3
or
4
strips
of
wood,
2
inches
thick,
to
answer
for
legs,
(so
that
there
will
be
an
empty
space
of
2
inches
between
the
two
bottoms,)
to
rest
the
second
bottom
on,
between
which
you
will
have
to
bore
a
hole
through
the
side,
to
put
in
a
brass
or
wooden
spigot,
between
the
empty
space
of
the
two
bottoms,
to
draw
out
the
rectified
liquor,
which,
if
the
rectifier
is
good,
should
not
run
out
faster
than
the
thickness
of
a
middle-
sized
knitting-needle,
or
still
less
;
and
after
you
have
the
perforated
bottom
at
its
proper
place,
put
a
layer
of
flannel
or
blanket
over
this
bottom,
so
that
it
will
come
all
round
up
the
sides
a
little
;
now
take
some
fine,
clean
sand,
and
put
from
4
to
6
inches
on
the
flannel
or
blanket
;
now
put
another
layer
of
flannel
on
the
sand,
and
on
the
top
of
this
put
from
12
to
15
inches
of
the
prepared
charcoal,
and
on
the top
of
this
piut
another
layer
of
blanket
or
flannel
;
on
the
top
of
this
flannel
lay
4
or
6
bricks,
to
keep
the
flannel
down,
or
else
if
you
pour
in
your
