Receipt to make Raisin Wine
taken from the Encyclopedia Mr E. Boote
To a 20 Gallon Vessel take 100th of Raisins, pick off the Stalks, Chop them grossly, & put them into an open [tub?] more wide than deep, Add two parts in three of the Water to them, & let them Stand 15 days, - Stirring them well every Day. Then Strain & prep them, putting aside the Liquor that runs from them. Add the remainder of the Water to the Raisins that have thus been pressed, & let it Stand upon them one Week, frequently - Stirring them as before, then press off the Liquor, & add it to what you first Collected, putting both runnings together into your Vessel, together with one Quart of Brandy, To Colour it, [turn?] 3/4th of Sugar into a small quantity of the Liquor, and add this to the Wine.
When the Liquor in the Barrel has done Singing, Stop the Vessel close & let it Stand till fit to be Bottled. the greater the quantity which the Vessel holds, and the longer it is kept in the Wood, the better it will be.
