And when it is tunned in the vessel (after working
with the barm) you hang in it a bag with bruised spices (rather more then
you boiled in it) which is to hang in the barrel all the while you draw it.
He makes also Mead with the second weak running of the Ale; and to this He
useth the same proportions of honey, herbs and spice, as for his small Mead
of pure water; and useth the same manner of boiling, working with yest, and
other Circumstances, as in making of that.
THE COUNTESS OF NEWPORT'S CHERRY WINE
Pick the best Cherries free from rotten, and pick the stalk from them; put
them into an earthen Pan. Bruise them, by griping and straining them in
your hands, and let them stand all night; on the next day strain them out
(through a Napkin; which if it be a course and thin one, let the juyce run
through a Hippocras or gelly bag, upon a pound of fine pure Sugar in
powder, to every Gallon of juyce) and to every gallon put a pound of Sugar,
and put it into a vessel. Be sure your vessel be full, or your wine will be
spoiled; you must let it stand a month before you bottle it; and in every
bottle you must put a lump (a piece as big as a Nutmeg) of Sugar.
