QuantityIngredient
5poundsPremier Malt hopped light
Malt extract
1poundsDried light plain malt
Extract
20ouncesCup loosely filled with blue
Sprice cuttin
poundsRoasted barley
2ouncesCascade hops
Ale yeast

Directions

Bring extract and 1½ gallons of water to boil. Add Cascade hops and boil for a total of 45 minutes. Rinse spruce cuttings, then tosse into the wort for the final twelve minutes of the boil. Cool. Pitch yeast. I tasted the sample which I took to measure the SG. The pine taste and smell were definitely present but not excessive; they added extra sharp- ness to the brew on top of the hops. Hard to say more from a flat, sweet, yeasty sample only halfway fermented.
