The finest, mealiest, and most nutritious potatoes are always denser and heavier than the waxy and soft ones. If you put potatoes into a solution of salt, the inferior potatoes will swim on the surface and the good will sink to the bottom. This trial never fails. Specific weight therefore is to be considered in purchasing them.
Boil some of the mealy sort, llb. for every quart of yeast to be made, till they arc quite soft. Skin and mash them very smooth, mix as much of the water in which they were boiled as will reduce them to the consistency of common yeast, but not thicker. To every pound of potatoes add two ounces of coarse sugar or treacle, and when lukewarm stir in for every pound of potatoes two tablespoonfuls of good new beer yeast; keep it stirring and warm for twenty-four hours, or till it has done fermenting, when it will be fit for use (but if older the better). It will keep in bottles three months.
