Greetings,

If any of you know of any beer recipes for these period or know where I could find some, please let me know.

Thanks,

BrewStef
 
i can't seem to find much...i know rations of ale were given to the soldiers during the civil war. here's a site with a few "historical brews" i came across:

Thanks. It looks like the challenge is going to be interpreting the recipe's a bit.

Looking forward to brewing some Molasses or spuce beers of the period.

Cheers! :mug:

That "Hop Beer" looks quite complex. :) I have gotta try some of these classic recipes sometime. Thanks for the site!
