- Grate four good-sized potatoes into a quart of hot water, cook and stir over a very moderate fire for five minutes, take from the fire, add a half-cup of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of salt ;
- mix, and turn into a stone jar and stand aside until lukewarm, then add one cupful of good yeast, cover, and ferment three or four hours, stirring it down each time it comes to the top of the vessel.
- When the fermentation is over cover it tightly and keep in a cold, but not freezing, place.
- This will keep two weeks, and is the best and simplest yeast that can be made.
