http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/20...-that-christmas-tree-turn-it-into-spruce-beer Look interesting, I wonder if it works with pinon pines
Well... NPR probably meant well, but didn't do their homework quite well enough. Fresh tips, not old xmas tree clippings are best. My juniper beer is going to be ready in a couple weeks. I can't see any reason why I wouldn't try a spruce beer sometime. However, I'd make certain to get the fresh tips.
