"Clarke's Complete Cellarman", 1830

[ThinkingBartender]

I was perusing http://books.google.com/ when I found the following:

"Clarke's Complete Cellarman: The Publican and Innkeeper's Practical Guide", by William Clarke.

Published: 1830.

It contains recipes for Shrub, Punch, Milk Punch, Bitters, Cordials and how to remove the blackness from hollands gin should you happen to drop an iron nail into it!-)

And best of all it was a British publication!!!

Look for it on http://books.google.com/

or use this link.

Okay so now I have found a 1826 Victualler's (Inn-keeper's) Guide:

"The vintner's, brewer's, spirit merchant's, and licensed victualler's guide;

by a practical man", By Vintner, 1826.

1826 Victualler's Guide

You can download the 1826 book and the 1830 book as PDFs. And they are free!!!

Cheers!
