Name: Green Corn Stalk Beer
Ingredients: E *****

Important lessons are given by this alternation of the two ideas of faith and unbelief, obedience and disobedience. Disobedience is the root of unbelief. Unbelief is the mother of further disobedience. Faith is voluntary submission within a person's own power. If faith is not exercised, the true cause lies deeper than all intellectual reasons. It lies in the moral aversion of human will and in the pride of independence, which says, 'who is Lord over us? Why should we have to depend on Jesus Christ?' As faith is obedience and submission, so faith breeds obedience, but unbelief leads on to higher-handed rebellion. With dreadful reciprocity of influence, the less one trusts, the more he disobeys; the more he disobeys, the less he trusts.

INSTRUCTIONS

The stalks, green as they were, as soon as pulled up, were carried to  a
convenient  trough, then chopped and pounded so much, that, by  boiling,
all the juice could be extracted out of them; which juice every  planter
almost knows is of saccharine a quality almost as any thing can be,  and
that  any thing of a luxuriant corn stalk is very full of it, ...  After
this  pounding, the stalks and all were put into a large  copper,  there
lowered  down  it its sweetness with water, to an equality  with  common
observations  in malt wort, and then boiled, till the liquor in a  glass is
seen to break, as the breweres term it; after that it  is  strained, and
boiled again with hops. The beer I drank had been made above  twenty days,
and bottled off about four days. Published in the Virginia Gazette on Feb.
