A practical handbook on the distillation of alcohol from farm products, including the processes of malting : mashing and mascerating : fermenting and distilling alcohol from grain, beets, potatoes, molasses, etc., with chapters of alcoholometry and the denaturing of alcohol ... . the general arrangement andcorrelation of the various apparatus of a plantmay be gathered from the sectional view of agrain distillery shown in Fig. 55. It will be seenfrom this that the mashing apparatus, steamersand mixers are located on the several floors of onebuilding and in such relation to each other thatthe several operations of saccharifying are carriedon in a continuous movement of mash towards thefermenting vats. Adjoining the fermenting vat room is a sectionof the plant given up to the manufacture of pureyeast and this and the fermenting rooms are levelwith the grotmd, have solid walls whereby a uniformtemperature is obtained, and plenty of space forproper ventilation of the vats.
