RE:  6* Richard        Feary      28  male   Malster
Re: 6         Occupation spelled as recorded.  Definition unknown.

A Malster is one who works in a brewery and makes the Malt for the
fermentation vats. They were usually in charge of the roasting, grinding
and boiling down of the malt to be added to the fermentation vats for
which the master brewer was responsible for adding the right amount of
Hops and tracking the fermentation and specific gravity.
