  4. Mash the berries with your hands, and let them stand covered till the pulp rises to the top and forms a crust, in three or four days.
  5. Then draw off the fluid into another vessel, and to every gallon add one pound of sugar;
  6. mix well, and put into a cask to work for a week or ten days, and throw off any remaining lees, keeping the cask well filled, particularly at the commencement.

  8. after six to twelve months it may be bottled.
