Are you glorying in your graces or your talents? Are you proud of yourself, that you have had holy postures and sweet experiences?... Your flaunting poppies of self-conceit will be pulled up by the roots, your mushroom graces will wither in the burning heat, and your self-sufficiency shall become as straw for the manure pile. If we forget to live at the foot of the cross in deepest lowliness of spirit, God won’t forget to make us feel the pain of His rod.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe uses saccharin, but I will not use this in my beer;  instead I
may  add brewer's licorice or lactose for sweetness.  The  amount  of
fermentables also seems low; I would add a pound or two of light extract to
increase the gravity to the mid-fifties. The recipe  also calls  for
priming  with 3 ounces of black treacle, which is molasses.  This  seems
low,  and it also seems that different brands  would  contain  different
amounts of fermentable sugar. This recipe is for one of my favorite old
ales---Old Peculiar. It  comes from Dave Line's book Brewing Beers Like
Those You Buy.
