I've got this recipe out of a book of stuff from the revolutionary war- "Spruce Beer" it's called, though I wouldn't go so far as to call it a beer. It was rationed out as an alternative to rum on the battlefield.
Has anyone ever tried this? What would be the best way of going about carbonating?
EDIT
It says this stuff is supposed to taste along the lines of English Stout... if you use your imagination.
- 1 gallon water
- 12 ounces molasses
- 1/2 ounce spruce extract (or 1/4 pound spruce needles)
- Ale yeast
