"Kristin Holt | DIY Yeast in Victorian America. This ""Yeast-Making and Keeping"" recipe from Staunton Spectator of STaunton, Virginia (January 30, 1866) calls for ""a sufficiency of barley or rye meal,"" in addition to hops. Note that this is one recipe that also gives instructions for yeast for beer-brewing... and it calls for no potatoes!"
