Yeast. — Take a pinch of hops and put them with i
quart of water to boil. When they have well boiled up
once and the hops sink to the bottom of the saucepan
they are done. Prepare i teaspoon of flour, two
dessertspoonfuls Indian meal, 2 good boiled potatoes,
mashed, l teaspoonful salt, i tablespoonful sugar;
work smooth with a little water, strain the hop-water
into them and simmer a few minutes. When cold add
I teacupful of the last made yeast✪ Yeast, or distilled yeast.
We have not varied the phraseology of the receipt
since it has done such good service, but a pinch of
hops seems a little vague in these days of exact meas-
urements. It means, however, as much as one can
easily grasp between the thumb and first two fingers.
This yeast will keep well for a week or more in the
summer if kept in a cool place. In winter it is good
for at least two weeks, but like all other compounds of
the sort, it is better for being fresh as often as possible.
