  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  lb            Hops
   1      ga            Water
     1/2  lb            Fine malt powder
     1/2  lb            Brown sugar

As Dad used to say, "Ja wohl, to pbegin der yeast..."

In one gallon of water boil the hops for half an hour. Strain and
stir in the malt flour. Then strain this mixture through a coarse
cloth and boil for about 10 minutes. Let the mixture rest until
lukewarm, then stir in the brown sugar. Remove mixture to a jug and
keep in a warm place for working. Cap tightly and store in a cool
place for future baking use.
