e barm, and two quarts of wort, and beat it well
together: every time you put the wort in, be sure you keep the settling
out.

Suppose you brew early on Thursday morning, you may tun it at 9 or 10 on
Saturday morning.

Do not fill your vessel quite full, but keep about three gallons to put
in, when it has worked 24 hours, which will make it work again.

As soon as it hath done working, stop it up, put the drink as cool as
you can together; thus it will work well.

_To make Treacle Beer._

Boil two quarts of water, put into it one pound of treacle or molasses,
stir them together till they are well mixed; then put six or eight
quarts of cold water to it, and about a tea cup full of yeast or barm,
put it up in a clean cask or stein, cover it over with a coarse cloth,
two or three times double, it will be fit to drink in two or three days.

The second and third time of making, the bottom of the first beer will
do instead of yeast.

If you make a large quantity, or intend it for keeping, you must put in
a handful of hops and another of malt, for it to feed on, and when done
working, stop it up close.

The above is the best and cheapest way of making treacle beer, tho' some
people add raisins, bran, wormwood, spices, such fruit, &c. as are in
season, but that is just as you fancy.

Indeed many pleasant, cheap, and wholesome drinks may be made from
fruits, &c. if they are bruised and boiled in water, before the treacle
is added.

The plan of manufacturing domestic wines, mead and small beer, once
established and understood in a family, becomes easy--is considered a
duty--and the females prepare as regularly for renewing them, as for
baking, and doing every other branch of business. Many families amidst
plenty of ingredients and means, rarely have a comfortable beverage
under their roof--this is attributable to indolence, stupidity and want
of knowledge.--A little well timed, planning and system, with little
more than usual labour, by the intelligent housewife, will cause
comfort and plenty to reign throughout, and prove a fine and salutary
example to society. Besides, the pleasure a lady derives from presenting
a glass of good wine, in a nice clean glass to her welcome visitants,
will always amply compensate for the trouble of manufacturing, and
preparing it; but when the more intelligent pass a handsome and well
merited compliment on the neatness and quality of her fare--she derives
happiness from her industry,
