let stand 3 hours and draw off, put on 7 gallons more water at 180
or 182 degrees, stir well, let stand 2 hours and draw off, then put
1 gallon or 2 of cold water, stir well and draw off; you should have
about 5 or 6 gallons; mix 6 lbs., coarse brown sugar in equal amount
of water, add 4 oz. of good hops, boil for 1-1/2 hour; you should
have from 8 to 10 gallons when boiled; when cooled to 80 degrees,
put in a teacupful of good yeast and let it work 18 hours covered
with a sack. Use sound iron-hooped kegs, or porter bottles, bung or
cork tight, and in two weeks it will be good sound beer, nearly
equal in strength to London porter, or good ale, and will keep a
long time.


62. SANGAREE

Take wine, ale, or porter, 1/3, and 2/3 water, hot, or cold,

63. GINGER WINE

Put 1 oz. good ginger root bruised in 1 quart of 95 per cent.
alcohol, let it stand 9 days, and strain, add 4 quarts of water, and
1 lb. of white sugar, dissolved in hot water, 1 pint port wine to
this quantity, for what you retail at your own bar makes it far
better; colour with tincture of saunders to suit; drink freely of
this hot on going to bed, when you have a bad cold, and in the
morning you will bless ginger wine.
