CONCEALING
ODOR
OF
GRAIN
OIL.
pays
but
a
small
percentage,
and,
therefore,
is
scarcely
worth
noticing
;
yet
it is
desirable
that
the
manufac-
turer
should
possess
a
knowledge
of
it.
This
brandy
will
be
greatly
improved by
the
addition
of
honey
or
sugar,
in
the
proportion
of
four
gallons
to
forty
gal-
lons
of
the
spirit.
A
cheaper
article
of
this
brandy
is
made
of
common
rectified
whiskey,
thus
:
to
forty
gallons
of
whiskey,
add
eight
ounces
of
acetic
acid
;
one
ounce
of
sulphuric
acid,
three
sliced
red
beets,
one
pint
of
burnt
sugar,
coloring
;
add
a
pint
of
wheat
or
rice
flour,
slightly
scorched
over
the
fire,
to
the
liquor,
and
allow
it
to
stand
for^ten
days.
The
flour
can
be
suspended
in
the
spirit,
by
being
tied
up
in
a
piece
of
muslin
and
hung
in
the
barrel.
