vtipsy, has a good point, boiling the birch sap will change the flavor.
But if you're making a beer, its going to be boiled anyway, but you can deal with that in several ways.
I think a good way to use your 9 gallons would be to take 3 gallons and use vtipsy's recipe above, execept I'd substitute a very neutral honey for the sugar, and add the usual yeast nutrients for mead, aiming for about 5-6% abv. Then I'd take 2 gallons and add to 1 galllon of boiled wort (you don't want grain soaking up the sap) and I'd boil down the remaining 4 gallons to 2 gallons and add that to similar wort as above so you can compare the effects of boiling the sap after fermentation.
For the wort, a light blond ale, maybe with some rice added to keep the malt flavor to a minimum would be my choice. You'd have to make a high gravity wort since you'll be diluting it with un-boiled sap.
You can add the sap at flameout to sanitize it as long as your temp stays above 180F or so, you'll be ok.
