Birch Beer Recipe

Here is a recipe for birch beer that I got out of an old cookbook. I haven’t tried it but it’s enough like one in Euell Gibbon’s book, Stalking The Wild Asparagus, to reassure me.

  • Place four quarts of black birch twigs cut into small pieces in the bottom of a five gallon crock.
  • Add eight pounds of brown sugar to four gallons of water in a large kettle.
