Col George Washington’s Small Beer

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

I  made this after two Civil War beers (bay leaf/ginger and  the
spruce beer). I had molasses and the barm from the second Civil War
beer, so  I brewed this. I used 2 ounces of hops. (It really doesn't
make much difference what kind. The water is pretty bitter after
boiling for an hour.)  I  let it ferment a week before bottling. It  is
undrinkable  by modern  standards.  The only flavor is the  bitterness
of  the  molasses, followed by the hop bitterness. The  flavors never
melded; there is  just the distinct double bitterness.  One pound of
molasses is about one  pint in volume. Most of these  historical beer
recipes can be found in Brewed in America, by Stanley  Baron.  Recipe
