From the Hearth: 19th Century Homemade Yeast (4-Day Process)

In the 19th century, and earlier, yeast did not come in a convenient little package purchased from a mercantile. It had to be made at home or better yet, obtained from a brewery. Barm (the yeast floating on the top of the dregs at the bottom of beer vats) was the ideal type for bakers and cooks but not everyone lived near a brewery. There were no breweries close to Stephenson’s house in 1820 Illinois so their yeast would have been homemade. Looking through old receipt (recipe) books prior to 1900, you will find a variety of recipes for making yeast. Some are fairly short, whereas this one takes four days to complete. We’ve tried several but the process presented in this video has proven the most successful for us. Typically, yeast was made in large batches for use over several months and stored in large ceramic crocks or bottles. Breads made with barm or homemade yeast (like ours) are sweeter with an obvious ‘hop’ flavor; one our ancestors knew well.
