The Duty Of An Hired Distiller






Is to rise at four o'clock every morning. Wash and clean out the boiler,
fill her up with clean water, put fire under her, and to clean, fill and
put fire under the singling still--to collect and put in order for
mashing, his hogsheads--and as soon as the water is warm enough in the
boiler to begin mashing, which he ought to finish as early in the day as
possible; for when the mashing is done, he will have time to scald and
clean his vessels, to attend his doubling and singling still, to get in
wood for next day, and to make his stock yeast, if new yeast is wanting.
In short, the distiller ought to have his mashing finished by twelve
o'clock every day, to see and have every thing in the still house, under
his eye at the same time; but he ought never to attempt doing more than
one thing at once--a distiller ought never to be in a hurry, but always
busy. I have always remarked that the bustling unsteady distiller
attempts doing two or three things at once, and rarely ever has his
business in the same state of forwardness with the steady methodical
character.
