1st, or liquor copper, containing 120 barrels. 2nd, or wort copper, containing 140 barrels. 3rd, or little copper, containing 27 barrels.

Here the malt was all ground into sacks, and could of course be turned into the mash tun at any time. Let it then be placed conveniently for throwing it into the tun, sack by sack, as soon as the mashing machine has been put in motion as afterwards described. Let the first copper, either the previous evening, or very early in the morning you
