Sugar Vinegar, Strong

Put a gallon of water into a stewpan with seven pounds of coarse moist sugar, stir it for a minute or two, then boil it for half an hour, and carefully remove the scum as it rises. Pour it out, and when it is new-milk-warm, or from 60 degree to 65 degree Fahrenheit, put into it a thick piece of toast well covered with fresh yeast. Let it stand for two days, and stir frequently. Put it into a cask, paste a piece of paper over the bung-hole, and put it in a warm dry place. Let the liquid stand till ready, then bottle for use. This strong vinegar will be found excellent for all purposes.
