Hop Beer 1
Ingredients
½ oz. hops
1 lb. white sugar
Yeast
1 gallon water
½ oz. root ginger
Method
Boil the sugar, hops and bruised ginger in the water for an hour, adding boiling water to replace any lost. Strain and when cool add the yeast. Leave twenty-four hours, syphon off the liquid without disturbing the yeast deposit, bottle, cork and wire. Ready to drink in two days.
The colour can be improved by using demerara in place of white sugar and by adding a little burnt sugar or caramel colouring. 1 oz. cracked maize may also be added during the initial boiling.
