ANOTHER BIRCH BEER Birch beer is also an Alcoholic Beverage . Obviously not a drink for children, it can be made in the following way: # Measure 4 Quarts of finely-cut twigs of Sweet Birch into the bottom of a 5- Gallon Crock-pot . # In a large Kettle , stir one gallon of Honey into 4 gallons of Birch Sap and boil for 10 minutes, then pour over the chopped twigs. # When it has cooled, strain to remove the twigs and return to the crock-pot. # Spread 1 cake of soft Yeast on a slice of toasted Rye Bread and float it on top of the beer. Cover with a cloth, and let ferment until the cloudiness begins to settle; about a week, somewhat depending on the temperature. # Bottle the beer and cap tightly. Store in a dark place and serve it cold, preferably during hot weather. It should stand in the bottles for about 3 months before using. If opened too soon, it will foam all over and pop worse than Champagne . SEE ALSO |
