Patent Gas Beer

Take 2 oz. ground ginger; I oz, allspice; 1 —2 oz. cinnamon; 1-4 oz. cloves; all bruised or ground, boil a few minutes in 2 quarts of molasses, strain into your keg and add 7 1-2 gals. cold water and 1 pt. of good yeast; shake it well together and bung down, make over night and it will be ready for use the next day. There ought to be a little space in the keg not filled with the beer. This beer is ahead of all the pops and mineral waters of the day, for flavor, health, or sparkling qualities, or speed in making. Be careful you do not burst the keg. In hot weather, draw in a pitcher with ice.
