Take  7  Pounds of good spruce & boil it well till the bark  peels
off, then take the spruce out & put three Gallons of Molasses to the
Liquor & and boil it again, scum it well as it boils, then take it  out
the kettle & put it into a cooler, boil the remained of the water
sufficient for  a Barrel  of thirty Gallons, if the kettle is not
large enough to boil  it together, when milkwarm in the Cooler put a
pint of Yest into it and mix well.  Then put it into a Barrel and let
it work for two or three  days, keep filling it up as it works out.
When done working, bung it up with a Tent  Peg  in the Barrel to give
it vent every now and then. It  may  be used in up to two or three
days after. If wanted to be bottled it should stand a fortnight in  the
Cask. It will keep a great while. From the journal of General  Jeffrey
Amherst, governor-general of British North America.  Recipe By     :
