To Brew Porter

Six Bushels of Porter Malt and six pounds of
brown hops, moisten the malt with water that
has boiled which must be set to cool as it
must not be used hot nor have any cold
water put to it -- when the malt is
properly wetted leak on sixty gallons of
boiling water, let the mash stand three
hours and let the porter boil two hours with
the six pounds of hops: to be worked with
yeast as beer. -- After the porter is brewed
put twenty pailfuls of boiling water to the
mash -- let it stand on the mash two hours
