If you wish to roast a piece of meat on the spit, you must put it into water
until it boils, and after having scummed it, throw a burning pit coal into the
boiling water as before; at the end of two minutes, take out the meat, and
having wiped it well in order to dry it, put it upon the spit.
To make Spruce Beer out of the Essence.
For a cask of eighteen gallons take seven ounces of the Essence of Spruce, and
fourteen pounds of molasses; mix them with a few gallons of hot water; put it
into the cask; then fill the cask with cold water, stir it well, make it about
lukewarm; then add about two parts of a pint of good yeast or the grounds of
porter; let it stand about four or five days to work, then bung it up tight, and
let it stand two or three days, and it will be fit for immediate use after it
has been bottled.
To make Spruce Beer out of Shed Spruce.
To one quart of Shed Spruce, two gallons of cold water, and so on in proportion
to the quantity you wish to make, then add one pint of molasses to every two
gallons, let it boil four or five hours and stand till it is luke-warm, then put
one pint of yeast to ten gallons, let it work, then put it into your cask, and
bung it up tight, and in two days it will be fit for use.
