sometimes even 70° and was never observed to be under 57°

It is by turning the malt on the floor, that the temperature is regulatif, as well as by spreading it thicker or thinner.

Kiln

The Kiln consists of a Chamber floored with plates, full of wary small holes, or with wire, or haircloth. The malt is spread upon this floor to the depth of from 3 to 6 inched, and a wery moderate fire of charcoal is kindled in an appartment below it. The heated air passes up through the malt, and makes its escape by the roof of the Kiln, when there is an apperture for the purpose. for a considerable time, the fire is Kept so low as not to heat the malt higher than the temperature of the human body. as the drying advances, the temperature is gradually rised, till it rised to 0140° or even higher, according to the object in view.

The colour of the liquor to be produced from the malt depends upon the temperature at which the latter is dried. It that liquor is wished to be pale, the malt is dried at as low heat; but it brown, like porter, the heat is considerably increased. 106° 170° and in one accession 186°. some times malt dried at a 

heat little less than 212°.

Even pale malt may have been exposed to a heat of 170°, and malt may be made brown, at a
