Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Combine the spruce tips, malt extract, grains, and hops in a large pot and add enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 60 minutes.
2
Strain the mixture into a fermenter and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add the yeast and seal the fermenter.
3
Allow the beer to ferment for 7-10 days, or until the bubbles in the airlock slow to about 1 per minute. Once fermentation is complete, transfer the beer to a secondary fermenter and allow it to age for 2-3 weeks.
