Found in a Cook-book from 1967.
Before botlling and filtering, boil corks, bottles, and a clean kitchen towel for 15 minutes.
In 19 quart of water add 12oz hop and 1 little bag of Kneipp (roasted barley for making coffee-like beverage, 1/2lb). Cook in covered pot for two hours. Remove from heat, filter through a sterilized kitchen cloth, add 1lb table sugar, cover and let it cool down.
In a lukewarm wort add 1oz yeast and let it stand covered for 4-5 hours. Remove white foam. The beer is ready to bottle.
Fasten corks with rope and let the beer ripen in a basement or other cool place for three months.
Comments please. Any suggestions for improvements (ale or lager yeast, hop, table or candy sugar, etc.) ? I'd like to try this before getting into serious brewing. But, this is also serious, right ? I mean, it's in the real cook-book. How does it taste ? Did someone try this ?
