A36054	Directions for brewing malt liquors shewing, what care is to be taken in the choice of water, malt, and hops : and in what proportions they are to be mixed, and how boyled and fermented, for making the best March, or October beer, strong ale, &c. : in a method never before published useful for all such as are curious in malt liquors / by a Country gentleman ; with a satyr upon brandy by another hand.	Whitaker, Edward.	1700 (1700)	Wing D1531; ESTC R7839	10,069	32

may_v be_v only_o cold_a water_n now_o that_o i_o have_v give_v the_o best_a direction_n for_o brew_v that_o ready_o occur_v to_o my_o memory_n i_o come_v to_o show_v the_o reason_n why_o common_a brewer_n very_o seldom_o or_o never_o make_v good_a drink_n this_o i_o know_v be_v general_o attribute_v to_o their_o underboyl_v their_o strong_a word_n which_o to_o prevent_v some_o brewer_n to_o their_o detriment_n and_o no_o manner_n of_o advantage_n to_o their_o drink_n have_v boil_v they_o three_o hour_n which_o be_v thrice_o as_o long_o as_o need_v and_o all_o to_o no_o purpose_n in_o most_o if_o not_o all_o of_o the_o northern_a county_n there_o be_v few_o or_o no_o common_a brewer_n the_o innkeeper_n and_o public_a ale_n house_n brew_v what_o they_o retail_n in_o their_o own_o house_n and_o private_a family_n for_o themselves_o and_o in_o all_o these_o county_n it_o be_v as_o rare_a to_o find_v any_o ill_a malt_n liquor_n as_o it_o be_v to_o find_v good_a in_o london_n or_o the_o adjacent_a county_n this_o may_v serve_v to_o show_v the_o mistake_n of_o those_o who_o ground_n their_o computation_n of_o the_o number_n and_o proportion_n of_o inhabitant_n between_o some_o southern_a and_o northern_a city_n and_o town_n on_o the_o king_n revenue_n of_o excise_n arise_v out_o of_o they_o for_o that_o in_o the_o eastern_a and_o southern_a county_n abound_v in_o common_a brewer_n almost_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o city_n and_o great_a town_n there_o and_o the_o mean_a people_n of_o their_o neighbourhood_n take_v their_o drink_n of_o the_o common_a brewer_n clog_v with_o excise_n which_o few_o or_o none_o of_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o northern_a town_n do_v in_o the_o west_n of_o england_n they_o have_v some_o common_a brewer_n but_o not_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o east_n and_o south_n in_o most_o part_n of_o the_o west_n their_o malt_n be_v so_o stench_v with_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o wood_n with_o which_o it_o be_v dry_v that_o no_o stranger_n can_v endure_v it_o though_o the_o inhabitant_n who_o be_v familiarize_v to_o it_o can_v swallow_v it_o as_o the_o hollander_n do_v their_o thick_a black_a beer_n brew_v with_o buck_n wheat_n in_o bristol_n they_o have_v considerable_a quantity_n of_o malt_n by_o sea_n from_o wales_n some_o dry_v with_o straw_n some_o with_o coak_n or_o culm_n much_o the_o best_a way_n of_o dry_n yet_o have_v little_a good_a drink_n make_v from_o it_o which_o be_v general_o impute_v to_o the_o brackishness_n of_o their_o water_n in_o short_a the_o reason_n why_o public_a and_o common_a brewer_n seldom_o or_o never_o brew_n good_a drink_n be_v that_o they_o wet_a more_o malt_n at_o once_o then_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o can_v have_v vessel_n and_o servant_n enough_o to_o work_v and_o set_v it_o cool_a enough_o to_o ferment_n kind_o and_o withal_o brew_n so_o often_o that_o they_o can_v sufficient_o between_o one_o brew_v and_o another_o cleanse_v and_o scald_v their_o brew_v vessel_n and_o barrel_n give_v they_o due_a time_n to_o dry_v but_o that_o they_o will_v retain_v such_o a_o rest_n as_o will_v always_o char_n and_o sour_a their_o liquor_n and_o the_o mischief_n accrue_v by_o such_o neglect_v be_v incredible_a to_o person_n unexperienced_a my_o brewer_n have_v be_v so_o cautious_a in_o this_o particular_a that_o if_o any_o servant_n of_o the_o house_n have_v by_o accident_n make_v use_v of_o any_o long_o handle_v jet_n hand_n jet_n or_o pail_n with_o cold_a water_n during_o the_o brew_n they_o have_v scald_v it_o a_o new_a and_o let_v it_o dry_a before_o they_o will_v use_v it_o again_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o common_a brewer_n wet_v such_o vast_a quantity_n of_o malt_n at_o once_o and_o brew_v so_o often_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o story_n of_o melibeus_n the_o mantuan_a shepherd_n in_o boccalin_n who_o tell_v the_o roman_a empire_n that_o whilst_o he_o and_o menalcas_n keep_v five_o hundred_o sheep_n each_o as_o they_o long_o do_v they_o make_v a_o crown_n a_o head_n by_o the_o wool_n and_o lamb_n amount_v to_o five_o hundred_o crown_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la but_o when_o menalcas_n from_o covetuousness_n double_v his_o
