Miss Hattie Whitney,
Green Bay, Wis. GRAPE WINE. To every gallon of wine put three pounds and a half (3|) of sugar. To make ten gallons of wine, a large washtubful of grapes picked off the stems, which are to be well-mashed and squeezed, and then strained through a hair sieve to express all the juice. Mix the juice and sugar together, and measure it to see if it is ten gallons; if not, add more juice; or, failing in grapes, add water. An extra gallon is necessary to add in order to have ten gallons. Leave it in the tub in a moderate heat until fermentation has thoroughly com- menced ; then put it in the cask in the cellar with the bung out until fermentation ceases, when it is to be bunged up and left until the next spring, when it is to be drawn off and bottled. The extra gallon requires no more sugar. Brown sugar is to be used.
