The rule is, that a Groats-breadth (or rather but a
threepence) of the Egg-shel must Swim above the Liquor; which then put
again into your Copper to boil. It will be some while, before it boil,
(peradventure a goodquarter of an hour) but all that while scum will rise,
which skim away still as it riseth; and it should be clear scummed by then
it boileth: which as soon as it doth, turn up an hour Glass, and let it
boil well a good hour. A good quarter before the hour is out, put to it a
pound of White-Ginger beaten exceedingly small and searsed (which will
sever all the skins and course parts from the fine) which having boiled a
quarter of an hour, so to make up the whole hour of boiling, pour out the
Liquor into wide open Vats to cool. When it is quite cold, put a pottle of
New-ale-barm into a Pipe or Butt, standing endwise with his head out, and
pour upon it a Pail-full of your cool Liquor out of one of the Vats; which
falling from high upon it with force, will break and dissipate the barm
into atoms, and mix it with the Liquor. Pour immediately another pail-ful
to that, continuing to do so, till all the Liquor be in.
