Washington’s Beer recipe
From The Telegraph:
“Take a large Sifter full of Bran Hops to your Taste,” Washington instructed. “Boil these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall into a cooler [and] put in 3 Gall Molasses while the Beer is Scalding hot.” “Let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm then put in a quart of Yeast if the Weather is very Cold [then] cover it over with a Blanket & let it Work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask”.

Mr. George was the only founding father to commercially operate a whiskey distillery. He distilled rye and corn whiskey near his Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.
