Ginger Beer with Dried Yeast
Dear Aunt Daisy, Is there a method of making ginger beer using compressed yeast? Also I have mislaid the excellent hint to prevent colours from running; it had grated potato and other ingredients. Could you repeat it sometime? "Aunt Flo." I have a recipe for ginger beer using dried yeast, but not compressed yeast. | Still, I think you could experiment with compressed, using about %%4 of a cake. One and a half tablespoons ground ginger, 3 cups sugar; boil these in about a quart of water. Pour through sieve into jug. Have clean 1 gallon bottle ‘or jar, ‘and half fill with cold water. Pour in hot syrup, add I, tablespoon dried yeast, and fill jar with more cold water. Leave about 24 hours, uncorked. Pour off about a cup from top, cork, and drink as wanted. To Set Colours, grate 2 medium potatoes, add 1 cup vinegar and 1/ cup common salt. Stand for 10' minutes then add 4 quarts water. Soak new frock or material in this 20 minutes and wash in usual way.
