Its all our Alien friend here at IC Mag's fault,
Well not really,
It was a good thing that he landed here for all of us on this little blue marble
Thank you BOG :smile:
So today I give my Brothers and Sisters a Early gift for this season.
Going thru some of my family Old Brew recipes in some old outdated books from long ago,
And found this recipe I did once back in school -frat days.
It was really fine, Taste like a unsweetened Pepsi-Cola
Very refreashing and thirst quenching.
well we tested with some of BOG LIFESAVER in the mix this last spring and early summer,
This brew was brought over to Canada around the 1850's from Prussia.
Its made using the Sitka Spruce Tree that grows in one place in Canada.
Some people know it as Black Fir.
Kumdis Island is located in B.C. Canada, Queen Charlotte Islands
This is were to find your main ingredient for this so special brew.
So lets start:
