| For me the reply for continuation question "Please tell me the exact steps of that recipe.": Here is a rough translation of the oldest known written recipe, which is for a kind of beer from ancient Mesopotamia: 1. Crush and mash 4 liters of barley to create malt. 2. Soak the malt in water for 2.5 days. 3. Leave the mash in a cool place for 2.5 days. 4. Filter the mash through a strainer to separate the liquid from the solids. 5. Boil the liquid for 1 hour. 6. Add 1 liter of honey and 1 handful of hops to the liquid. 7. Leave the mixture to cool. 8. Add 1 handful of "gig" (a type of wild yeast) to the mixture. 9. Leave the mixture in a cool place for 5 days to allow fermentation. 10. Filter the mixture again to separate the beer from the solids. 11. Serve the beer chilled. It's important to note that this recipe is over 3,700 years old, and it may not produce a beer that is palatable to modern tastes. Additionally, some of the ingredients and techniques used in this recipe may not be readily available or practical for home brewers today. |
