A dictionary of arts, manufactures and mines : containing a clear exposition of their principles and practice. ng, whence thesacks are wheeled on a truck tothe malt-loft a, and the contentsof the sacks are discharged. The horse-wheel is intended tobe driven by horses occasionally,if the steam-engine should fail;but these engines are now broughtto such perfection that it is veryseldom any recourse of this kind isneeded. Fig. 104 is a representationof the fermenling house .at thebrewery of Messrs. Whitbreadand Company, Chiswell Street,London, which is one of the mostcomplete in its arrangement inthe world: it was erected after theplan of Mr. Richardson, who con-ducts the brewing at those whole of fig. 104 is to beconsidered as devoted to the sametibject as the large vessel m andthe casks n. Jig. 103. In fig. 104r r is the pipe which leads fromthe different coolers to conveythe wort to the great fermentingvessels or squares m, of which there are two, one behind the other; // represents a part ofthe great pipe which conveys all the water from the well E,_/ig. 103, up to the water cistern. BEER. liy F. This pipe is conducted purposely up the wall of the fermenting-house, ^g. 104, andhas a cock in it, near r, to stop the passage. Just beneath this passage a branch-pipe pproceeds, and enters a large pipe x x, which has the former pipe r withinside of the end of the pipe x, nearest to the squares m, another branch n n proceeds, andreturns to the original pipe/, with a cock to regulate it. The object of this arrangementis to make all, or any part, of the cold water flow through the pipe x x, which surroundsthe pipe r, formed only of thin copper, and thus cool the wort passing through the piper, until it is found by the thermometer to have the exact temperature which is desirablebefore it is put to ferment in the great square m. By means of the cocks at n and p, thequantity of cold water passing over the surface of the pipe r can be regulated at pleasure,w
