HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIQUORS
Liquors, cordials, ales, beer, and all soft
drinks when not in immediate use, should
be kept in a moderately qool cellar—between
60° to 70°.
Syrups should also be kept in the cellar
to prevent fermentation.
LIQUOR AND WINE BARRELS
Liquor and wine barrels should be kept
on skids. To open a barrel, use a bung
starter. First remove the piece of tin that
covers bung hole. Strike barrel on both
sides of bung hole, which will loosen up
the bung. On a card, which should be pasted
on the barrel, note the amount you draw
out. This will assist you to keep a correct
daily record of your stock. Always tighten
up the bung hole by hitting bung with
starter.
TO DRAW LIQUOR OR WINE
When drawing wine or liquor use the
siphon hose to prevent your inhaling the
fumes. Be sure that everything is clean and
sanitary.
Use a jigger for mixing all individual
drinks. It contains two ounces.
