This recipe is not mine, but I thought it would be of interest to your readers especially in a time when yeast is not readily available.
Ingredients:
- 1 ounce hops (seed hops are available online)
- 8 ounces flour
- 4 ounces white sugar
- 1 quart potatoes, mashed
- 3 ounces salt
- 3 quarts cold water
Directions:
- Simmer the hops and water together until the water is reduced to 2 quarts and 1 pint.
- Strain and divide the liquor, placing one half in a vessel with the flour, sugar and salt, and half in another vessel containing the mashed potatoes.
- Heat each portion twenty minutes, then stir all together, and put away to ferment.
- Shake it frequently. It will be ready for use in twenty four hours. Two tablespoons or half a gill will be sufficient for a quart of flour.
- Eat responsibly.
