peer agreement (net): +2lead vessels Explanation: Could it be 'loden faten'? Loden vaten or lead vessels were for example used by the Romans to brew wine. At a later date, lead vessels were used in England to brew ale. As Henk already pointed out, other goods were also stored in storage vessels, e.g. butter, oil, and so on. I have not been able to find any proof, though, that lead vessels were used for these types of goods. Denkend aan de bacchanalen die men onder bepaalde keizers aanrichtte, en aan de aanzienlijke hoeveelheden wijn die daarbij moeten hebben gevloeid, ligt de verklaring van dit gegeven nogal voor de hand: de Romeinen sloegen hun wijn meestal op in loden vaten, een deel van het lood van zo'n vat loste in de loop der tijd op in de wijn, en een hoge dosis lood veroorzaakt gekte dan wel krankzinnigheid. http://www.delaatstestap.nl/DaviWB/Pagina52.html The question is whether the must was boiled in pots of lead or bronze. In De Agri Cultura, the earliest example of Latin prose (c.160 BC), Cato gives directions for reducing must in "a copper or lead vessel" over a slow fire, "stirring constantly to prevent scorching; continue the boiling, until you have boiled off a half" (CVII). Writing in the first century AD, Columella elaborates on the process. http://itsa.ucsf.edu/~snlrc/encyclopaedia_romana/wine/leadpo... In 1535 the White Hart, then known as the Hartshorn was leased by the Abbot of St. Albans to John Broke and his wife Elizabeth "with a brewing lede, one growte lede, one tabyll with a peyer of trescells standing in the hall and in the parlour one tabyll with a peyer of trescells and ten bedsteddes". A lede was a lead vessel used in brewing. Clearly home brewed ale was available even if the sleeping accommodation was cramped! http://www.salbani.co.uk/Pubs/WhiteHartWeb/the_white_hart.ht... |
