Hi all!
I wanting to make a fresh evergreen pine resin tasting ale, around 5%ish. Using extract malts and hops, 23l. 31 EBC.
My questions are;
1. Does adding pine needles do much, if so, what's the best way to prepare them, boiled in water, boiled in sugar, or vodka extract, or just added to ferment?
2. When bottling, could I use a Pine Needle vodka extract, or a Pine Syrup?
3. Hop Choice? Im thinking; Simcoe, Chinook, Challenger, Summit, Armarillo.
Thank you kindly in advance.
