Keith The complete maltter and brewer, as Nicol. -The author, who writes, as he fays, from 30 years experience, takes a great deal of pains to explode horses, as he calls all the malts which are round and now in gelit. nd to establish long grown in the ciLe propoles plump, and malis, which Gera. To ་ར- * the following experiments: Let, fays he, couple of grifts of malt be taken of equal number of bufhels, and let it be owned that both have been cured on the kiln as they ought to be; the one to be the shortest and plumpeft that can be got, which is now adays thought to be the best, and the other to be acrospired in the growth till the flour be quite wafted: yet, tho' I grant that there will be a very great difparity in their weight, I will venture to fay, and I know I have truth on my fide, that, when both have been fteeped in the brewing, with an equal quantity of liquor, the latter fhail produce one third more of wort, and five times fatter, finer, and ftronger beer than the other, & that the more age that beer fhall have, the more it will mend, while the contrary fhall be the cafe of the other. -The method of brewing he lays down, is this. Let your malt be ground, and put it into your tun first; and while your liquor is heating, watch that it do not boil; but as foon as you fee the little bubbles rite, or rather the whites begin to roll, dip your four fingers in, and if you find it bite fharp, then damp and let off into the malt. To boil and cool makes a corrupt and uncertain liquor. Your whole quantity of liquor being all off in your malt, your next care must be, to fee that it be well broken up, Grudge not your time, but look over and point out where it may want to be put down; for your mak will need no more ftirring for that brewing. Your mash being now quite over, let it ftand about half an hour, and then begin to fpend tap for as there commonly go two worts to the ftrong, we would not rob the fecond too much; for the better it is, the fooner it will boil off, Your copper of liquor for the second should be in the fame quality as the other. The next math that follows is for fmall beer, commonly called the tail of fmall. This laft is commonly laid on in cold liquor, out of the liquor back: for as the goods have before pafied thro' two heats, it is judged that a contrary quality will ftrike or extract more of the effence that is in them, than if they had another heat. Suppose now your firft worts to be in the copper. Allow two pounds of good flout hops to a barrel. The two grand noftrums or fecrets which our celebrated working brewers do much value themfeives upon, are thefe, ift, the taking off the first liquors on the malt, already defcribed; and 2d, the mystery of boiling to truth; which is as follows: Your worts and hops being infufed, let them boil fmartly for about a quarter of an hour, or lefs, and then, with a dish, or jet, take up a little to the light and fee if the little nits appear thick in it; then, if they do, continue boiling till they become large curds, or rags, as we call them. This is th whole mystery of boiling. The method of fermentat your firft worts are off the coppe fill in the back, let down a litt be, hot, into your working tun, juft to lower the bottom half an inch deep, or lefs; to let that lie till it be as cold as the weather will make it, and then to put in your yeast defigned for store, and let it lie until the other worts are in temper to let down to it. Obferve, that when the weather is very warm, they cannot be too cold; but in cold weather they must be blood warm. When the greateft part is down, ftir it well together; then fhut up the tun clofe, and let it lie, to fee whether the liquor goes to fleep or to work. If it seems to fleep, ftir it up again to wake it, and: mind to keep back a little of the fecond worts, for a tail to let down juft before you cleanfe. This will keep the beer working due time in the barrel; for the more it works in the barrel, the lefs bottom it will have in the drawing. The figns by which to know when it is fit to cleanfe is, that the top of the head will begin to turn thick and ftift, like yeaft, and be ready to flab down. Then is the time to cleanfe; for that head fhould not be fuffered to fall in the tun N. B. If the weather chances to be very cold, care must be taken not to under baum the wort.

By SYLVANUS URBAN, Gent. LONDON: Printed by D. HENRY, at St JoHN's GATE. THE Gentleman's Magazine; For MARCH 1765. The State of the NATION, with a Preliminary Defence of the BUDGET. A GHERE has lately been published a pamphlet, entitled, Remarks on the Budget, &c. by the hand of fome one con. verfant in office; an unlucky hand indeed! for fo many errors fcarce ever were met with in fo fmall a volume. As a national point of the greatest importance is involved in the debate, B and as fuch pains have been taken to deceive the public, and to conceal thofe evils, which, if not averted, must end in the public ruin, I cannot refrain from doing the best that is in my power to fate thefe mitters in perfect clearness. I protest, exclufive of mea fures as connected with men, I have C no with for any one minister before another. But the question whether public credit fhall be placed upon a firm bafis, or left upon hollow ground, is that upon which every land holder, flock-holder, and merchant, in the kingdom, has a right to call aloud for D fatisfaction. The main object in view, and that in which the public is alone concern. ed, is, the true Hate of the nation, with regard to its annual income, expenditure, and unfunded debt.-In itating thefe, the remarker, in his eftimate of the finking fund, has made E ufe of the fame public papers that are ufed in the Budget, and has brought out a different conclufion.-But what does this prove? Not the least in the world that the one is right, and the other wrong; for any one may easily imagine that a juggler in elimates may bring out forty different con- F clufions from the fame papers, which may all pals for flerling upon those who are not converfant in the science. But as it is impoffible for more than one conclufion to he the true one, why has not this author laid his finger upon that error in my citimate, which he prefumes to have led me wrong, and the avoiding of which, he fuppofes to have led him right? Why has he not specified the different ways that we have used the fame papers, and justified his method in preference to mine? An error there must be on one fide or the other, and it is the îndifpenfable task of a writer who comes fecond in the debate, to demonftrate the errors in the account to which he replies; for after all my estimate ftill ftands unimpeached. I shall now ftate the argument between the Author of the Budget and the Remarker. In the first place, it; is allowed on all hands, that the outflanding debt is upwards of 10,000,000. The next question is, how are we to pay this debt off: The minifter has undertaken this task without laying any new taxes, and has declared that he will accomplish it, by the forplus monies of the linking fund. This annual furplus is, specified in the remarks, as amounting to 1,150,000 $ in the Budget it is only stated at 220,000. The difference between us lies in two articles; vz. the produce of the finking fund, and the amount of the peace eltablishment. As to the produce of the sinking fund, as flated in the Budget, no one has, or can, reprove any fingle article: I hat therefore proceed to demonftrate that the estimate of the sinking fund in the remarks, is falfe. The Remarkee fays, that 1.943,000 l. having been its true average produce for the laft fix years, he muit fuppofe that it will produce as much in every future year; and pledges his reputation on the mott careful examination, that rone of the funds incorporated fince 1758. with the finking fund, can lellen that fund. Now, what is one to think of a man who pledges bie reputation, |
