To 1 gallon water heated to boiling add sugar, rice, salt and malt

Heat, stirring all the time, until it just comes to a boil

Pour into 4 gallons of cold water already placed in the crock

Stir and add 1 package of dry yeast, (or fresh dissolved in luke warm water)

Cover with cloth

Skim as needed and bottle when it has finished working but is just sparkling (3 to 5 days). Never let the first high foam turn over into the beer

Skim off the foam and syphon the brew carefully to avoid stirring the sediment

If it is bottled while still working it will burst the bottles and if there are too many sparkles it will be all foam when bottles are opened

(Four or five sparkles a minute is about right)

If it goes flat, bottle and put 1/4 teaspoon sugar in each bottle before you cap it

Let stand 3 to 6 days

The longer the better.
