(1) All casks should be emptied as completely as possible.
(2) Before being returned from the warehouse they should be "grogged" with water, into each cask four gallons of water should be put and, after being securely bunged down, the cask should be well-rolled, so as to bring the water in contact with the whole of the internal surface. It should then be allowed to lie for at least two hours in one position, should then be again rolled and then placed in such a position for another period of two hours as to expose another portion or surface to the action of the water. This should be repeated at least three times to that the whole of the surface may have been subjected to the action of the water for two hours. The weak liquor so obtained, which will, when the original liquor was 40° over proof, probably be found to be about 80° under proof, should be shown in Register 86, and should be utilized in reduction of strong spirit.
(3) Until the operation is completed, the casks should be kept under lock and key.
(4) A note should be kept of the number of casks emptied and grogged in Register No. 87.
