INSTRUCTIONS
Boil malt and boiling hops for 1 hour. In last 10 minutes add the 1
ounce of Cascade finishing hops and the Irish moss. In the last 2
minutes add the spruce essence. Chill and pitch yeast. My tasting notes on
this say that at 2-1/2 months after bottling it was "fair." This tells me
that it was unremarkable. My recollection is that it was drinkable but
unexciting. Perhaps the dark extract overwhelmed the spruce and more
spruce essence should have been used. Where the bottle says "Sufficient
for 8 gallons of spruce beer" they may mean for a somewhat lighter beer.
