Are Yew Ready?

[WoodHokie4]

I've just recently stumbled upon a fresh crop of yew berries in my yard and want to make a batch of wine with it. Has anyone else attempted this before? If so, can you share a recipe?

I am aware that yew is poisonous in every part but the red berry fruit. I'm pretty sure that I can process it safely. Just looking for recipes. Thanks!

The best 5hing b to do is taste the berries and determine what it might add to a beer, bitter, tart, tanic, etc. Then think about a style that those attributes might work with

After tasting the berries, I decided that it was A) too much work and B) not a spectacular flavor to work with
