Sweden and Hot Wine in Czech Republic. They vary slightly from country to
country and according to tradition. All of them have the same basic
ingredients. Use your family recipe or experiment with others.

| Fresh Spiced Apple Cider Recipe |
64oz. fresh apple
cider ¼ cup light brown sugar 1 oz. (generous 1/4 cup)
Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine and Cider Spices
Follow the non-alcoholic
recipe brewing method. You may not need the additional sugar depending on the
sweetness of your apple cider.
Go to your local orchard and pick up a
gallon of fresh apple cider. There is nothing like the taste of hot spiced
cider on a cool fall day. We make individual mugs of spiced cider in the
microwave. We spice up the hot cider by putting Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine and
Cider Spices in a tea ball and letting it steep in the hot cider.

42 Cup Percolator
Style Coffee Maker Method**
Two 64oz bottles of cranberry juice 6
cups apple cider 6 cups dry red wine 1 cup light brown sugar 1 cup
apricot flavored brandy 4oz. (1 cup) Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine and Cider
Spices
Combine the cranberry juice, apple cider and red wine in the
coffee maker reservoir. Place the brown sugar and Bisschopswijn spices in the
basket of the coffee maker. You may use a paper filter but it is not necessary.
Brew the mixture. When the brewing is complete add the apricot flavored brandy.
Pour the hot Bisschopswijn into mugs and serve with a Cinnamon Stir Stick.
Makes twenty-eight 8oz. cups.
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. |
| Drip Style Coffee Maker Method |
32oz. cranberry
juice 12oz. apple cider 12oz. dry red wine ¼ cup light brown
sugar ¼ cup apricot flavored brandy 1 oz. (generous 1/4 cup)
Bisschopswijn - Mulled Wine and Cider Spices
Pour the cranberry juice,
apple cider and red wine in the reservoir of the coffee maker. Place a paper
filter in the basket of the coffee maker. Fill the basket with Bisschopswijn
spices and the brown sugar. Brew the mixture. When the brewing is finished add
the apricot brandy to the hot liquid. Pour the hot Bisschopswijn into mugs and
serve with a Cinnamon Stir Stick. Makes seven 8oz cups.
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.

| 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. |
