Old family recipe
"A substitute for BARM- which has been used by the family of Mr J H ABRAHAM of this town upwards of two years:
Take two ounces of hops and boil them in one gallon of water for half an hour, then strain the liquor from them, and add half a pound of wheat flour to it: bottle it off and it will be ready for use in four or five days---take for every stone of flour one pound of potatoes, boil and crush them very fine and strain them through a hair sieve, then add to every pound of potatoes half a pint of the liquor, mix these together, and with warm water mix it with the flour in the same manner as using Ale Barm
NB shake shake the bottle before you pour any liquor out for use. Bread made with the above will be sweeter and lighter than that made with Ale Barm
