from it as oft as 't is Rackt Let not your Vessel be full by a Gallon Nor yet stopt close untill by drawing it off it be made to leave Huzzing and sputtering for the fuller and closer it is the more it frets When your Cyder is thus quiet then have a care to keep the Vessel full and close stopt yet lest you should stop it too soon open it once in two three or four days and if you find it is not yet quiet let the Vessel lie open an hour or half an hour at a time Omit not to burn a match of Brimstone dipt in Coriander-Seeds in your empty Cask just before you put in your Cyder and do this as oft as your Cyder is Rackt 't is an Excellent Expedient to prevent ill tastes and Fermentation XIV The best way to Order your Sugar before you put it into your Cyder is to make it into a kind of Syrup or Sweets by Dissolving of it in Water one hundred weight will make 16 Gallons and so proportionably But before you put your Sugar into the Kettle take the whites of 30 or 40 Eggs the more the better which being well Beat with a thing like a rod or whisk in eight or ten Gallons of Water then put 4 Gallons of this egg-Egg-water so prepared into your Kettle or Vessel where your Sugar is to be dissolved then hang it over a Gentle Fire and stirr it about until it be Dissolved But be sure when it Boils put in more egg-Egg-water to keep it from Boiling to high and so continue putting it in one Quart after another for an hour together untill all your egg-Egg-water be spent but to prepare your egg-Egg-water in parcels viz. a Quart or two at a time as you use it is the better way Now the use of these Eggs is only to raise such a scum as will carry away not only all the foulness and grosness of the Sugar but all the Egg also And when the scum hath done rising and is clean taken off then fill up your Kettle with as much VVater as will make up your Quantity and let it Boil to the size of a Syrup and being cold put it into your Cyder But to put in a little Coriander-Seed bruized and tied up in a fine linnen Ragg whilst it is Boiling will give it a fine gratefull scent Of these Sweets you may put in 2 or 3 Gallons more or lest into an Hogs-Head as your Pallate invites you or as the tartness of the Cyder requires But put them not in till you have Rackt your Cyder the last time and that it be past the Fermentation And before you put your Sweets into the Cask mix your Sweets and the Spirits you intend to put in together with a like Quantity of Cyder and stirr them well together then put all into your Cask of Cyder and stirr them with all your strength with a strong staff in the Bung-hole for one half quarter of an hour After that stop it close and draw none off till 2 3 or 4 Months By which time it will be Answerable to what hath been proposed Only remember that if you will have it to resemble Canary you must add the greater proportion of Spirits and Sweets but if French-Wine then the less Sweets or none at all As to the sort of Sugar if the Sweets be made with white the Cyder will remain Pale if of Brown Sugar it will raise it to an higher Colour And in my Opinion the latter is as good as well is the cheapest since the coursest by the aforesaid preparation becomes as pure as the finest And Sweets being thus made will cost but 5 d. per Quart And thus every man may merryly make his varieties of Drink with that which he knows to be good cheap and wholsome which is more than he is sure to have at every Tavern altho' he Pay three times as much for it Nor hath he so much Reason to suspect these Liquors in those Houses to be so much Adulterated as the others because none of like goodness to the Eye Scent and Pallate can be afforded so cheap to the Pocket XV. The Husky part of the Apples after the Cyder is Pressed out being steeped 2 or 3 days in as much water as will cover it and then Pressed clean out and kept in a Vessel untill it hath well Fermented As also the Lees of all your Cyder will afford Spirit or Brandy so much that being added to the Cyder of the same Apples will make it almost as strong as French-Wine which is a thing of great Advantage XVI Spirits being put into Bottles amongst Cyder or any of the aforesaid Liquors Will not Drink well I was a long time troubled to find out how to make this Drink as pallatable and pleasing as it was become strong and Chearing until I put both Cyder and Spirits into a Wooden Cask The first I Compleated Was in a Vessel of six Gallons Into which I put 2 Quarts of Sweets and 3 Quarts of the Spirits of Cyder which after it had lain 2 or 3 Months I found to be as strong and pleasing as Canary XVII By adding Wormwood to Cyder-Royal as you do to Wine you may make it as good and gratefull to the Stomach both for procuring Appetite and causing Digestion as the best Purl-Royal or Wormwood-Wine Thus may you have or your own Growth Cyder-Royal Goose-Berry Currant Cherry c. from the size of the smallest Wines to the strength and goodness of the best Canary suitable to all Seasons of the Year and to the Constitutions of all Persons and Humours of all Pallates and agreable to all Ages from Children of 12 Months Old to the heighth of Old Age. XVIII This Cyder-Rayal or New Wine thus prepared may be kept in the Cask 2 or 3 Years and be better'd thereby Provided you keep the Cask full which to do you must Observe that in 2 Months time the Liquor will waste a Quart more or less as the Vessel is bigger or lesser which you ought to fill up again with Liquor of the same strength or if stronger the better And by this means it may keep and grow better and better some Years without putting into it as some are said to do into their Liquors Stum or other unwholsome Ingredients Suppose by keeping cyder-Royal too long it should become unpleasant and as unfit to Bottle as Old Hockamore take but one Hogs-Head of that and one of Tart new Cyder and before the latter be quite clear or fine mix them together in two other Hogs-Heads well-Perfumed and add Sprits and Sweets a due Proportion to the Quantity of your new Cyder Suppose it be in the Month of october or November you may be sure to have it full as good if not better than ever it was and a most Excellent Cyder-Royal to Drink or to Bottle by or before Christmass And this I know by repeated Experience and Practise nor
