HOMEMADE YEAST
2 teaspoons pressed hops (available from beer making stores)
3 pints boiling water
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 potatoes, medium sized (4 if small), boiled
1/2 teacup flour
1 teacup old yeast
Mix hops, tied in a small bag, in boiling water to make a tea. Add
sugar and salt to tea. Cream potatoes with the flour. Gradually add hop
tea to potato mixture, return to fire and cook a few moments. Cool and
add old yeast (note, if making homemade yeast for the first time,
commercial cake or dry yeast will have to be used.) Set in a
place
to “work” for 12 hours or overnight. Bottle in 2 glass jars. When supply
runs low repeat above recipe, saving a bit of this batch to make the
