To every gallon add an ounce of hops ; then boil it half an hour, and let it stand till next day : put it into your cask, and to thirteen gallons of the liquor add a quart of brandy. Let it be lightly stopped till the fermentation is over, and then stop it very close. If you make a large cask, keep it a year in cask.
Seite 37 - Raspberry Wine. To every quart of well-picked raspberries put a quart of water ; bruise, and let them stand two days ; strain off the liquor, and to every gallon put three pounds of lump sugar ; when dissolved put the liquor in a barrel, and when fine, which will be in about two months, bottle it, and to each bottle put a spoonful of brandy, or a glass of vrine.
Seite 48 - Grate three fine large lemons, with a large piece of double-refined sugar ; then scrape the sugar into a plate, add half a tea-spoonful of flour, mix well, and beat it into a light paste with the white of an egg. Drop it upon white paper, and put them into a moderate oven on a tin plate.
Seite 42 - Put a pound of fine fruit into a China bowl, and pour upon it a quart of the best white wine vinegar : next day strain the liquor on a pound of fresh raspberries : and the following day do the same, but do not squeeze the fruit, only drain the liquor as dry as you can from it. The last time pass it through a canvass previously wet with vinegar to prevent waste.
Seite 41 - When cold, sweeten with loaf-sugar, and straining it, bottle and cork it tight. This is a very pleasant liquor, and very wholesome ; but from the latter consideration was at one time drunk in such quantities as to become injurious.
