Old cider or vinegar barrels, 2
Remarks. —You will understaai this 16 gals, is produced in each bbl., so if a man is working 100 bbls. he makes 1, 600 gals., or about SO bbls. of 32 gals. each (which is a legal bbl. ), every two months of the summer season; and if he is going to carry it on for a business, as a man does in this city (Toledo, O. ), and has a suitable building, he can work 500 bbls. as well as 100. In summer, free air is admitted by lowering and raising windows, and if he chooses, can make considerable in the colder months by keeping his room warm with stoves or furnace, if the demand justifies it. This gentleman tells me that some old, pure cider vinegar, to mix with the newer cider, is far preferable to yeast or any other ferment, which will be found to be a great aid, as mentioned in the close of the directions of No. 1; and if a larger amount than there' named is used, even 1 to 3, or the bbl. filled one-third full, as in the French plan above, it will make all the quicker. Quite an important point for those who may wish to manufacture vinegar of pure cider, in the cities or for city trade, is to have one or more large casks in the building, holding 1, 000 gals.
