There is a very considerable difference between the action of acids on wool and on cotton, and this difference of action is taken advantage of in the woollen industry to separate cotton from wool by the process commonly known as carbonising, which consists in treating the fabric with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid or some other acid, then drying it; the cotton is disintegrated and falls away in the form of a powder, while the wool is not affected, sulphuric acid is used very largely in dyeing wool with the acid- and azo-colouring matters. keywords: -the; 8vo; acid; acid bath; acid blue; acid violet; action; air; alizarine; ammonia; azo; bath; bichromate; bisulphate; black; blue; blue b; boil; boiling; bright; brilliant; brown; chrome; cloth; colour; colouring; contents; cotton; dark; deep; diamine; dry; dye; dyeing; dyes; extract; fabrics; fast; fibre; form; glauber; goods; green; half; home; hour; illustrations; indigo; lift; light; liquor; logwood; machine; manufacture; method; mordant; naphthol; net; oils; orange; paper; potash; price; process; properties; red; salt; scarlet; shade; soap; soda; stuffs; sulphuric acid; tartar; time; use; vat; violet; washing; water; wool; wool dyeing; wool fibre; work; working; yarn; yellow cache: 19985.txt plain text: 19985.txt item: #8 of 33 id: 20663 author: Coppinger, Joseph title: The American Practical Brewer and Tanner date: None words: 44026 flesch: 52 summary: Take one peck of good malt ground, one pound of hops, put them in twenty gallons of water, and boil them for half an hour, then run them into a hair cloth bag, or sieve, so as to keep back the hops and malt from the wort, which, when cooled down to 65 degrees by Fahrenheit's thermometer, add to them 2 gallons of molasses, with one pint, or a little less, of good yest, mix these with your wort, and put the whole into a clean barrel, and fill it up with cold water to within four inches of the bung hole, (this space is requisite to leave room for fermentation,) bung down tight, and if brewed for family use, would recommend putting in the cock at the same time, as it will prevent the necessity of disturbing the cask afterwards; in one fortnight this beer might be drawn, and will be found to improve to the last. In general, the cleansing commences too soon for the strength and quality of the goods, particularly for porter, since the introduction of a greater proportion of pale malt than formerly used; a more perfect fermentation is now requisite to keep up the genuine distinction in that flavour of porter from ordinary beers and ales, which, since the change of _lengths_, has much declined, though the only characteristic quality that gives it merit over other malt liquors--an object that deserves consideration in this great commercial branch of trade, and source of national wealth, where the loss of distinction will be the loss of trade. keywords: air; ale; beer; brewing; copper; days; degrees; fermentation; gallons; good; ground; half; heat; hops; hour; liquor; malt; mash; matter; pounds; process; quantity; second; time; tun; water; wine; yest cache: 20663.txt plain text: 20663.txt item: #9 of 33 id: 20917 author: Husmann, George title: The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines date: None words: 44798 flesch: 72 summary: wine_ grape should have a large amount of sugar, with the acid in due proportion, a distinctive flavor or aroma; though not so strong as to become disagreeable, and for red wines a certain amount of astringency.
