In making vinegar from wine and malt, the lees, or refuse, of wine is also used, to promote fermenta- tion. Vinegar may also be obtained from wood, (when it is called pyroligneous acid,) from whiskey, and from sugar, or molasses. To obtain it from sugar, the following method is taken. Ten pounds of sugar are added to eight gallons of water, with yeast, and raisins or grape cuttings, for the sake of flavor, and perhaps to assist in the fermentation. Twelve pints of bruised gooseberries, or other... fruits, are added ; and, by a proc"es3 similar to that for cider, a good vine- gar is produced in the course of the summer. Vinegar is frequently adulterated, by having sulphuric acid mixed with it, in order to in- crease its acidity ; and also by the addition of copper and lead. The adulteration may be detected by adding a little chalk, which, uniting with the sulphuric acid, will form a white insoluble powder ; or by employing ammonia, when we suspect copper ; or sulphate of soda when we suspect lead.
