Mash the grapes, stems and all, in an open cask, and cover it with cheesecloth, as the least particle falling into the contents may change it materially. After fermentation put through a fruit press, turn the juice extracted into a clean, close cask, and leave on its side for one month, being careful not to disturb it and keeping it in a cool, dark place. During fermentation, however, it should be stirred daily. It is now ready to bottle, and the bottles should be laid away on their sides. Stem a small quantity of grapes and mash with a potato-beetle in a clean tub or crock. Strain through a bag to get as much juice as possible. To each quart of this add a pound of white sugar, and put away to ferment in a big jar or clean cask, covering the bung hole at the top with netting. After fermenting for three or four weeks it should be still and clear. Then bottle, pouring off the lees with care. |
