1760 General Amherst's Spruce Beer
Take 7 Pounds of good spruce & boil it well till the bark peels
off, then take the spruce out & put three Gallons of Molasses to the
Liquor & and boil it again, scum it well as it boils, then take it
out the kettle & put it into a cooler, boil the remained of the
water sufficient for a Barrel of thirty Gallons, if the kettle is
not large enough to boil it together, when milkwarm in the Cooler
put a pint of Yest into it and mix well. Then put it into a Barrel
and let it work for two or three days, keep filling it up as it
works out. When done working, bung it up with a Tent Peg in the
Barrel to give it vent every now and then. It may be used in up to
two or three days after. If wanted to be bottled it should stand a
fortnight in the Cask. It will keep a great while.
