You can use the same recipe and brew the mixture in a large stock pot. Use the brewing method under the basic Bisschopswijn recipe.


This is still our favorite way to brew a batch of Bisschopswijn. We like the simplicity of this method. We also like the idea of the spices being constantly being basted by the hot liquid during the brewing process. Often you can use less spices when brewing with this method.

Our good friend Amy gave us this brewing idea. She has two coffee makers, one for brewing coffee and another for brewing Bisschopswijn since the flavor of the spices left in her coffee maker were making her coffee taste like clove and cinnamon.

1 pound powdered sugar

If you ever sample our product at a farmer’s market, trade show or craft show you will be sampling this recipe. This is the family friendly recipe or for those who don’t want to indulge in the wine recipe. We often make this for parties and set up what we call a “cider bar”. We put out bottles of spiced rum, peach schnapps, cinnamon schnapps, apple schnapps and fruit flavored brandies then let guests flavor their spiced cider according to their own personal taste. Always put out a few Cinnamon Stir Sticks for mixing in the extra flavor.

Glögg
1 bottle (.750 ml) tawny port
1 bottle (.750 ml) Madeira
1 bottle (.750 ml) medium dry sherry
1/2 bottle (.750 ml) dry red wine
¼ cup Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine & Cider Spices
15 cardamom seeds
1/2 pounds lump sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1 cup raisins
1 cup blanched almonds

Combine all ingredients except the sugar, brandy, raisins and nuts in a heavy saucepan and heat slowly. When the wine mixture is hot, place a rack on top of the saucepan so that it covers half of it. Arrange the sugar cubes on the rack, warm the brandy, pour it over the sugar and set it aflame. Ladle the wine mixture over the flaming sugar until sugar is dissolved. Serve hot in mugs, garnished with the almonds and raisins. Make about 10 servings.

There are a number of variations of this traditional Scandinavian Yuletide drink. Dry red wine, muscatel and sweet vermouth, with aquavit in place of the brandy, may be used. In another version, 2 bottles of dry red wine, preferably a full bodied dry red, are used with the quantity of aquavit increased to a whole bottle, which is poured over the flaming sugar.

Pumpkin Ale Recipe
This is mostly an extract-based recipe, though there is a short mash/rest with the pumpkin and malt. Use this recipe as-is or as a basis for experimentation.

Yield: 5 gallons of beer with an (approximate) alcohol by volume of 6 to 8% (depending on mash efficiency, use of brown sugar/molasses, amount of pumpkin, etc.).

6-10 pounds of pumpkin, roasted, do not use canned pumpkin
1 pound of Vienna malt, 4L
½ pound crystal malt, 40L
½ pound malted wheat
6 pounds light or amber malt extract
1 cup brown sugar (optional)
½ cup molasses (optional)
1oz Mt. Hood hops (boiling)
½ ounce Hallertauer hops (finishing)
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine & Cider Spices Tip: place Bisschopswijn spices in a coffee grinder and grind until it becomes a powder
Wyeast 1056, American Ale, or 1272, American Ale II

Roast the pumpkin in the oven, similar to cooking squash; cut the pumpkin into manageable pieces, remove all the seeds, remove flesh from the skin after roasting. Place skin side down in a shallow baking pan and add a bit of water to the pan. Roast in a 325° oven for about an hour or until soft.

There's two ways you can incorporate the finished pumpkin: a partial mash-style method or simply a soak with the grains as the water heats. For the soak method, simply add the pumpkin and the grains to your pot of water then put it on the heat to boil. When it boils, remove the pumpkin and grains.

For the partial mash, add the pumpkin and grains to hot water (ideally you want this mash to settle at 150 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit) and let rest for an hour. Sparge the pumpkin wort from the mash, and add to your brew kettle. (Note: if you don't have sparging equipment, so this removal is simply via a wire strainer.)

Add the malt extract (6 pounds is for dry, you could easily get away with 7 pounds if it's syrup), optional brown sugar and molasses, Mt. Hood hops and boil for 1 hour. After 45 minutes, add the finishing Hallertauer hops. At the very end of the boil add the vanilla and Bisschopswijn spices. Adding them to the boil any sooner will essentially nullify their flavor and aroma contributions.

Ferment for 1 week, or until primary fermentation settles down, and rack to a secondary for 2 more weeks. The secondary fermentation is not strictly necessary but for clarification and for letting the flavors mellow. You might also add the spices at this stage for a more pronounced presence. Bottle, priming with ¾ cup of corn sugar and drink after a couple of weeks.

About the hops, Mt. Hood is a nice spicy, slightly sweet hop (a variant of Hallertauer) that seems to complement this beer well. For finishing, you don't have to stick to Hallertauer, play with it a bit. Cascade might be a nice finish, or if you want to reduce the hop bite, omit the finishing hop altogether.

Sprinkle some of the spice mixture inside the apple. Fill the apple with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the rest of the spices on top of the apple filling.
