A67797	Cerevisiarii comes, or, The new and true art of brewing, illustrated by various examples in making beer, ale and other liquors, so that they may be most durable, brisk and fragrant and how they may be so ordered, as to yeild the greatest quantity of spirits in distillation : to which is added, the right way to refine and bottle beer and cyder, and a cure for those that are sick and ropy, so as to return them to their internal sanity, as also the true method of manuring lands and the art of making salt water fresh : all proved by demonstration and sound philosophy, to be more agreeable to man's body than otherwise, and so not only fit for english constitutions, but also for transportation : published for the sake of verity, and therefore recommeded to all that esteem demonstrated truths before notional theory / by W.Y. Worth ...	Y-Worth, W. (William)	1692 (1692)	Wing Y216; ESTC R13121	45,081	144

damp and cold Fog therefrom and their Bowels are warmed with the benevolent Rays warmed with the benevolent Rays thereof for to be sure what Nature does not in this Case Art must for this before-described Gass is not only evident in Water but also in most other concreted Beings You have an Example hereof in Wheat-Corn which is the wholsomest Grain in Europe and the Staff of Man's Life in that it hath received a permanent Maturation both from the Celestial and Central Sun for if it be eaten raw or the Flower thereof it causes Diseases but being fermented and baked the Heat sends forth this said Gass as is evident in that it becomes so Vertuous the like is to be seen in Syder yea even in Wines which are not to be ripened but by a Fermentation which is even a Sparkling foaming or as I may truly call it Nature 's violent Decoction even to an Exorbitancy and all this is in order to separate that which doth not centrally agree therewith sc the wild Gass which is evident in this That if a Barrel be then closed up it will burst in Pieces for it will make its way out But as soon as this is exhaled then the Action of Fermentation ceases but where it ceases before the said Gass is fully sent forth there it causes the Liquors soon to Fret Corrupt Rope and Sour as being diseased in itself wants an internal Sanity and the best Cure in this Case is Racking it off Now it is observable That what Decoction is wanting in the Separation of this Gass Fermentation doth compleat And I wonder why this late Writer should allow a Window in the Kill to let the gross Steams sullen Damps and stupifying Vapors as he calls them to pass freely away and to let in the Air when he doth not at the same time allow the same Benefit to Water which is the Element and Vehicle which conveys the same to other compounded Beings in the Act of Generation And though Nature hath been never so bounteous in ripening the same yet is it not fully separated there-from And Fire which is in the highest degree Hot and Dry that even that contains in it this wild moist Gass as we can easily demonstrate before Men of all Qualities now if what is here said is not sufficient to demonstrate the Nature and Effect of the said Gass then let such as desire to be better satisfied apply themselves to other Volumes as our Spagyrick Philosophy Asserted as also our Trifertes Saladini But however we shall add thus much seeing this new Moddler attributes all the unhealthful Qualities to proceed from well-boyl'd Beer and principally those of the Scurvy Stone and Gout yet we say on the contrary That these rather proceed from Beer not well boyled especially where this Gass is not fully evaporated for 't is from this and only this that they proceed For this Gass is Mineral and Excrementitious and hath in it such wrathful Qualities as stagmatise the vital Functions for it is endued with a Coagulative and Forming Quality and will make Stones or Excrements and sometimes takes on the Bodily Form of Arsnick or Poison it must be doing although Evil. We read in Aventius Annel Bavar lib. 7. Anno 1343. That above fifty Men with many Cows were turned into Stone Ortelius tels the same Story of whole Herds in Russia And Camerarius reports That in the Province of Chilo in Armenia at the blast of a South Wind which happens four Times in the Year whole Troops of Horse have been turned into Statues of Stone standing in the Warlike Posture as they were before And Ovid describes the Thracian Waters which make all things Marble and turn their Guts into Stones that take them inwardly Which in plain Terms are no other than this Gass which is plainly to be demonstrated in the Vrinous Classes though not so evidently in the Vinor one because the Calidum Innatum or warmth of the enriching drying Sulphur doth so dilate it that it is easily spent in Decoction and Fermentation But the Urinous and Mercurial Qualities do rather Increase and give Strength because the Vinor and Sulphurous Qualities which are there are so small as not to be able to put into Motion so as to work its way forth now as the Vinor and Vrinous are the two general Classes of Nature in that the very Spirit of the World which nourisheth all things is Vrinous so doth the Vinor contain the Vrinous though invisibly as the Vrinous doth the Vinor in the same Nature according as the hot and moist or cold and moist Qualities get predominancy and from hence it is very evident That this Spirit is the Original Cause of many Diseases and principally by its Volatility for that Diseases have their first Original in the Spirits and that this doth remain in Beer unboyl'd is evident in this Example-Take Wash prepared by the Distillers where neither Liquor nor Wort is boyled but hastened into a Fermentation and being put into the Still and suddenly made to boyl as they do the Beck of the Still being not immediately put into the Worm till this Gass is invisibly off for if it should it would cause it violently to boyle over and so foul the Worm or else force off the Head of the Still when as Beer well Boyled and Fermented having Age to boot may be stilled without this Observation and will yield by abundance the far more wholsom Spirit The same is done in Syder Wines and other Liquors so ordered and this is one Reason why French Brandy excels English Spirits Another Consideration which is a plain Proof that this Gass remains in Beer unboyled is the Paleness of its Colour which shews it rather to have the Moist Mercurial Quality predominant than the Sulphurous and Friendly one Friendly I say because Tincture shews Sulphur and Sanity because these are the Houses of Light and so chase away thousands and legions of the dark diseasie Ideas now Decoction only is that which manifests Tincture and by consequence the Health-making Vertue And I can compare white Beer to no other than Chyle or Posset which is only made by the first Action of the Stomach which should it remain so crude by a debility in Nature all Physicians would allow to be the Author of many Diseases but when the Central Fire is strong to make a true Concoction Digestion Circulation Fermentation and Separation then Tincture is brought unto it which by the help of the Vital Flame is exalted and so from thence the Animal Spirits elaborated then doth this Tincture manifest it self in the healthful Constitution when Diseases and Death are pale and wan And what egregious Nonsense is this even a Contradiction to the Laws of Nature to make as if that which is her first Intention should be That from whence Sanity should proceed and yet at the same time not to allow the degrees of Exaltation thereunto Our new Moddler saith That to make Malt with Judgment

a more Corporal Balsam nay even as was said before into the real Substance of the Tree itself Hence it is and for want of a fresh Supply of Vapor by the Radical Fermentative Union of both which the Sap is again produced that the whole Tree in all its parts is abundantly more dry in the Winter than in the Summer and were the Sap congealed in the Tree as some suppose then certainly would it contain Moisture sufficient to succour and nourish itself another Year for Vegetation without a Supply which Experience positively contradicts For if in the spring the Vapor is obstructed in returning to shew its nourishing Vertues the being thereof so deprived becomes as the off spring of the Dead for it hath been for this Season only preserved by the Magnetick Power of the Polar Axis and by having Root in the Earth where the Internal Warmth is and from the Strength obtained in the Season from the maturating Sulphur Central Fire or Internal Heat which as is all-a long said gives Strength and Maturity to Beings for the Winter-Season which is compared to the Hoary Head of Old Age wherein the youth ful Strength and Vigour is spent therefore Trees yearly renovate as hath been touched at for it is manifest that Trees in their Vegetative Season are full of Sap that they will searce or not at all burn whenas they will in that of the contrary freely do it and though Moisture sometimes proceeds from dryer Wood burned yet is not that so much the Sap as the Principles broken by the Violence of Fire and a Vineager mostly proceeding from the Sulphurous Quality seeing the same may artificially be produced from the driest of Coals Thus have you the general Office of the Celestial Sun and Moon as also of the Terrestrial and Central in producing and maintaining the Vegetative Power and Strength in Trees Plants c. whereby it is plain that the External Heat opens and the external Cold congeals vice versa that the Internal Mercurial Spirit Dissolves but the Internal Sulphurous one coagulates therefore is it that in our Opinion it is most proper to use Cold Water because cause that External Heat is apt to stir up the Internal one and if that have not some Artificial Check it will presently work some evil effect therefore do we advise That the Fumes of Sulphur as also the Distillers Wash be used to sweeten where these Rules have been neglected because it is full of that Gum which assatiates the other's Thirst Now as to tunning there be various manners used by most or all Brewers one being of Opinion That it is best tunned as it curles or begins to come another lets it be yet more ripe but we say it is best to Cleanse and Tun just as the Beer comes to a due Ferment and gets a good Head for then it hath the most Strength to cleanse itself in the Cask And you may observe That what works over must be again supplyed with Fresh Peer of the same Brewing the Workings may be added to your Small-Beer or else to your Barm and let the clear run through a large Hyppocrates Sleeve or Flannel Bag made in Form of a Piramide the Point being downwards with a Hoop at the Top hanging the same over a Tub and if you have great Quantities of Cleansings you may in a large Brewing get a Barrel of Beer Now things being thus ordered in Fermentation Cleansing the Vessels and Tunning it may be a great means for the preserving of the Beer But however Fixed Niter is as a sole Preserver for it keeps the Beer from any Fret or Unnatural Ferment nay it will restore Decayed Beer unto its pristine Vigour as will be seen in the next Chapter therefore do we conclude this and proceed to that CHAP. V. In which we shall treat of Clearing of Beer and restoring such as is Sour and Decayed so as to render it drinkable THe ways of clearing of Beer are many and various but the best thing to make it very Fine is Fixed Niter as also the Quintessence of Malt and of Wine for these being Spiritual render it also Clear Thin and Spiritual and preserve it Whites of Eggs being made into Balls with a little Flower and cast into the Beer do wonderfully Cleanse Feed and preserve the same especially if you add a little Izing-Glass thereunto The Experience of the Oyl of Barley essentially made gives wonderful Satisfaction in the Feeding and Nourishing of Beer seeing that as all other things requires nourishment to preserve its Being The Quintessence of Barley doth also wenderfully Nourish and Strengthen Beer It is also Cleared and Strengthened even to such a degree as that it may be called Beer Royal which is by adding into it in Fermentation some Burning Spirit which doth not only clear the Beer but also add Strength and Durability thereunto making it fit for Transportation to any Part of the World far beyond that of Double Beer for the same Reason as is rendered in our Britannean Magazine for Vinum Fortificatum or Syder Royal. Now Beer thus ordered seldom or never sours for many Years but if it should not be so ordered but come to sour we must look for a Remedy to recover the same and this may be eprformed by some Alkalizated Nature which imbibes the Acidity by Precipitation and frees the Liquor therefrom Of this Nature is the Salt made from the Ashes of Barley Straw being put in the Vessell and wel stirred Glamber commends three or four Handfuls of Beech-Ashes being throws into the Vessel after the same manner or if be not too very sour a little put in a Bag without stirring performs the same Chalk being put into sour Beer immediately renders it drinkable Also Calcined Oyster-Shells or Calx-vive Egg-Shells burned Tortoise-Shels Sea-Shells Crabs-Eyes Alkalized Coral for that they imbibe and attract the Sharpness and turn it into Sweetness Which also may in great Measure be performed by a Handful of Wheat being thrown into the Vessel for this Sharpness proceeds from the want of Strength and Spirits or else from those wnating something to feed on And therefore do we commend the true Alkalized Quintessence of Malt not only for returning Sour Beer Sweet but also for the Feeding and Nourishing such as is Sound for its future Preservation Glauber wonderfully commends his Sal Mirabilis and Fixed Niter to be put in a Linnen Bag and hung in the Top of the Cask so as to reach unto the Liquor not only ●●r rendring Sour Beer Drinkable but also for Preserving and Strengthening the same Thus having given you the Grounds and Reason whence Fermentation proceeds and how the same may be reasonably exalted or prevented and how Beer may be preserved from Souring as also how measurably to recover the same when so by such Rules and Examples as may enable you to prescribe others and make your Variations as need requires we think it sufficient and therefore proceed to other Requisites CHAP.
