Green Corn Stalk Beer – We Love God!

The problem with conservative churches is not that they lack members. The problem is that many of those members are not converted. Millions of members of evangelical churches are absent from worship services each Sunday and are equally absent from Christian living during the rest of the week. Biblical illiteracy and unethical conduct by Christians seem to be on the rise. Many people who attend are indifferent to the truths of Christianity, and others are divisive, even mean-spirited.

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. 14,
