COOLER

An apparatus used by brewers and distillers for cooling worts. The coolers generally consist of very shallow ve els exposing great surface, and placed in the high and airy parts of the brewery: the cooling is sometimes a isted by fans, which agitate the air over their surfaces. Worts are also occasionally cooled by causing them to traverse metal pipes, which are surrounded by a counter-current of cold water. Cb- [s. 292]
