For the purposes of this Appendix, percentage of alcohol by volume has been adopted (Standard tables of densities of alcohol water mixtures are available for direct comparison and for arriving at strength of spirits). 8.Degrees Gravity.—This expresses the density in terms of the first three decimal figures of specific gravity when used for products of specific gravity greater than one. 9.Wort.—This consists of a solution of molasses prepared for alcoholic fermentation or for yeast propagation (The degree of gravity of a wort is related to the Brix of molasses used and the degree of dilution and enables back calculation of the quantity of molasses employed). 10.Pitch or Bub.—This represents the charge of yeast suspension prepared for inoculating the main fermentation vats.No direct reference has been made to the pitch in the pro forma report as it may not be necessary.(The sugars or molasses used in the preparations of the pitch will be expressed through the quantity of wort taken). 11.Wash.—This represents the solution of molasses or wort during or after alcoholic fermentation. 12.Sludge.—This is the residue of yeast and other materials which accumulates in the bottom of fermentation tanks alongwith such portion of wash as goes with it and is not taken for distillation. 1.Subs. by G.N. of 18.5.1974. 5991949 : Bom.

As an example, the four tanks containing say 10,560 litres of 7.2% alcohol, 10.640 litres of 6.9% alcohol, 10.280 litres of 7.1% alcohol and 10.830 litres of 6.85% alcohol would result in an average of (10.560 × 7.2) plus (10,280 × 6.9) plus (10.280 × 7.1) plus 10.830 × 6.85) ———————————————————————— 42,310 Similarly, in the case of wort, the statistical average of different dilutions at varying brix made during that period is worked out.
