And, so I won't be guilty of sending a purely "Me, too" post, let me add that I wish I had a recipe for birch beer. We can get it in the Boston area, but the taste is very weak. I wish I could make it for myself, nice and strong.

I did a search on SOAR and found:

Birch Beer
Printer version of this recipe

Brewing Yield: 1 Servings

Put 1 gallon of the twigs, chopped very fine, in a crock. Now boil together 1 gallon honey and 4-1/2 gallons of the birch sap for 12 minutes, and pour this over the twigs.

Let it cool and strain out the twigs, then add a package of yeast.

Give it a week, then strain it into bottles, capping them tightly.
Serve it ice cold at any time.
