it is of an agreeable
sweetness, rack it off into a fresh cask, and put to it one gallon of
British brandy, and, if you think it necessary, a little isinglass to
fine it. Let it then stand one month, and it will be fit to bottle; but
the longer it remains in the cask the better it will be.
_Raisin Wine._ No. 2.
Take four gallons of water, and boil it till reduced to three, four
pounds of raisins of the sun, and four lemons sliced very thin; take off
the peel of two of them; put the lemons and raisins into an earthen pot,
with a pound of loaf-sugar. Pour in your water very hot; cover it close
for a day and a night; strain it through a flannel bag; then bottle it,
and tie down the corks. Set it in a cold place, and it will be ready to
drink in a month.
_Raisin Wine._ No. 3.
To one hundred pound of raisins boil eighteen gallons of water, and let
it stand till cold, with two ounces of hops. Half chop your raisins;
then put your water to them, and stir it up together twice a day for a
fortnight. Run it through a hair-sieve; squeeze the raisins well with
your hands, and put the liquor into the barrel. Bung it up close; let it
stand till it is clear; then bottle it.
_Raisin Wine._ No. 4.
Take a brandy cask, and to every gallon of water put five pounds of
Smyrna raisins with the stalks on, and fill the cask, bunging it close
down. Put it in a cool dry cellar; let it stand six months; then tap it
with a strainer cock, and bottle it. Add half a pint of brandy to every
gallon of wine.
