out with hot vinegar. The process
may be avoided by the use of two til
plates. After the bag is ready pour a
little vinegar in one plate, set it on thu
stove and lay the bag in it. Place thu
other plate on the top to keep in thu

evaporated into the hops add littl'
more and turn the bag. In few min
