Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the ..session of the Legislature of the State of California . ng. To manufacture brandy from pomace on a large scale and profitably, adistilling apparatus must be provided which permits of quick filling andemptying of the pomace, and at the same time will permit of the constantuse of the steam and water at the command of the distiller. Whereversteam is used, the copper boilers can be dispensed with and oak orother casks can be substituted instead. Already several well-constructedstills for handling pomace and lees have been devised, and now onlythose that can be recommended will be mentioned. Figs. 2 and 3 show the construction of a still suitable for handlingpomace. It is worked by steam, and is so arranged as to allow a con-tinuous action. Two of the three boilers in Fig. 2 are constantly at workwhile the third is being emptied and filled. The apparatus (Fig. 2)consists of three boilers I, II, and III, each one holding about 560 is the tank for the once distilled spirit; B, B, B are the beckens; C THE UTILIZATION OK WINK UKSIDUES. 149. is the cooler; E is the alcoholometer, which indicates the ])roof of thedistillate; D is the receiver of the distillate; F, F, Fare the filling doorsof the boilers; H is the steam pipe; /, /, / are valves for turning off thesteam; K, K, K are the discharge pipes; L the conduit pipe which letsoff the dregs; c, c, c are testing cocks; d is the pipe for letting out theonce distilled spirit; M is the pipe for supplying the cooler with coldwater.
