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.[390] 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.
