ING CIDER.
We have been asked so many times
to reprint the excellent recipe Of Profos-
sor Horsrord for arresting the fermenta.
ton of cider or other saccharine juices
at any desired point, that we feel bound
to comply. We have tried the expert
ment so as to satisfy us Of its value, and
recommend our readers to do likewise
Our plan has been to add the sugar at
an early stage of the fermentation, and
! the sulphite soon aGterward and in
somewhat larger quantity than has been
recommended. The ar-mokers add
the sulphite as soon as the juice is ex-
pressed Dr. Ure says the action Of
sulphur is to obstruct the fermentation
by absorbing oxygen, and thereby pre-.
venting the elimination Of yeast parti-
cles. The followingis is the recipe:
"When the cider in the barrel is un-
dergoing lively fermentation, add as
much white sugar as will be equal to
half or three-quarters of pound to
each gallon Of cider, and let the ferment-
alton proceed until the liquid attains the
right taste to suit; then add an eighth
to a quarter Of an ounce of sulphite
(uot sulphate) Of lime to each gallon of
cider in the cask; first mixing the pow
der in about a quart of the cider, and
! then pouring it back into the cask, and
. giving it a thorough shaking or rolling
] After standing bunged up a few days
s for the matter added to become incorpo-
- rated with the cider, it may be bottled
' or used from the cask.
S "Dont mistake sulphate of lime, which
e. is a natural production, and known as
= plaster of Paris, for sulphite Of lime
Y which is a manufactured article and i,
worth by the barrel about 33 cents
pound and by the cwt. 37I cents, anc
p by the single pound so cents 1t ho,
- been Of late years much used by sugar
y makers to prevent fermentation Of can,
juice; and in our opinion twill be foun,
d more effective as a preventive of fer
a mentation in cider than an arrester Of
e it after it has proceeded nearly to com
