Let all these boil about half an hour, then scum them clean away; and
presently let the Liquor run through a strainer-cloth into a Kiver of wood,
to cool and settle. When you see it is very clear and settled, lade out the
Liquor into another Kiver, carefully, not to raise the settlings from the
bottom. As soon as you see any dregs begin to rise, stay your hand, and let
it remain unstirred, till all be settled down. Then lade out the Liquor
again, as before; and if need be, change it again into another Kiver: all
which is done to the end no dregs may go along with the Liquor in tunning
it into the vessel. When it is cold and perfect clear, tun it into a Cask,
that hath been used for Sack, and stop it up close, having an eye to give
it a little vent, if it should work. If it cast out any foul Liquor in
working, fill it up always presently with some of the same liquor, that you
have kept in bottles for that end. When it hath wrought, and is well
settled (which may be in about two months or ten weeks) draw it into
Glass-bottles, as long as it comes clear; and it will be ready to drink in
a Month or two: but will keep much longer, if you have occasion: and no
dregs will be in the bottom of the bottle.
