To make cooling hop drink for a 36-litre cask, hang up a pot or kettle holding 50 litres of water, for you can reckon it reduces by about 14 litres during boiling.
While the water is still cold, you can add 1/2 mark (125 grams) or 3/4 mark of hops, depending on how bitter you want it. Boil this for 1 hour.
Meanwhile the vessels stand clean and ready for the drink: a cask and a tub (strok), both well cleaned and rinsed with good hot juniper lye.
Into the tub (strok) put 2 1/2 to 3 kg of sugar, or if you prefer syrup, then about 3 kg of it.
A thin linen cloth, tied to two sticks, is laid over the tub, and you strain the contents of the pot down into it. When everything has drained well off the hops, remove the cloth and stir well in the tub with a stick or a long wooden whisk (tvare).
When the contents of the tub are milk-warm (lukewarm), stir in a good half pægel of fresh yeast (barm). At the same time whisk in two egg whites so the drink clears more easily. If you have no egg whites, you can instead dissolve a couple of sheets of gelatine in boiling water and add that.
Cover the tub well with a clean white cloth, then woollen blankets, and let it stand and ferment until the next day. Remember to set the tub on a board or a little straw so it does not go cold at the bottom.
The next day remove the cloths, whisk all the yeast well in, and fill everything into a well-warmed cask.
