Hop Beer 2
Ingredients
1 lb. malt extract
½ oz. hops
1 lb. sugar (white or brown)
1 gallon water
Yeast
Method
Boil the malt extract, hops, sugar and water together for ninety minutes, adding more water to restore the original volume, then strain through muslin into a jug. The prolonged boiling gives the beer a pleasant amber colour. When this liquid is cool add the yeast and keep covered in a warm room for three days. Syphon off the beer, avoiding the yeast deposit and bottle. Add a lump of sugar to each bottle, cork and wire or tie down. It is ready to drink after about a week.
