A Dii'TON Resident.— The following is a recipe for hop beer :— Take 10lb sugar. lOgal water-, 4oz hop*, a piuch of isinglass, a few raisins, t«o large bottles of porter or a pint of yeast. Take 11 gaslon of tho water and boil it with the sugar and Lopa for one hour, then strain into a tub, »ud put the hops on again iv a little more water and boil for half an hour; then strain into the tub. and then into a cask with a piece of muslin over the funnel to prevent the toeds going in, theu fill up with cold water to make the Nhal. It mmt be filled up eveiy morning for four days with cold wa'ei-; and the day befure. boltling a pinch of Mnglas-' dissolved in a little of tho beer warmed is a gre*t improvement to clear it. 'Hie jeaat or porter is put in after you fill the cask, thf-n blso add the raisins. If bottled on the fifth day, it is nearly ready for drinking.
