Brewing his way to become our First President

Our Coutry needed a leader! Our country needed a man who could inebriate his constituents!




We needed a Home Brewer!

George Washington's brewing recipe

"To Make Small Beer"
Take a large Siffer [Sifter] full of Bran Hops to your Taste. Boil these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall[ons] into a cooler put in 3 Gall[ons] Molasses while the Beer is Scalding hot or rather draw the Melasses (sic) into the cooler & St[r]ain the Beer on it while boiling Hot. let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm then put in a quart of Yea[s]t if the Weather is very Cold cover it over with a Blank[et] & let it Work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask—leave the bung open till it is almost don[e] Working—Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed."



All he had to do was make enough beer to get the electoral college drunk and wallah the Presidency was his.



Video is not the most relevant or politically correct but it does bring up some interesting facts about George Washington you may have not been aware of.

Cheers!
