MANNER OF USING FININGS.

Put the finings, when ready, into a pail, with a little of what you

are going to fine; whisk them together till they are perfectly mixed,

and then nearly fill up the pail with the liquor, whisking it well

about again, after which, if the cask be full, take out four or five

gallons to make room; take a staff and stir it well; next whisk the

finings up, and put them in, stirring well together for five minutes;

then drive in the bung, leaving the vent-peg loose for three or four

days, after which drive it in tight.
