Special Instructions

1.
Herbs are fresh unless otherwise indicated.
2.
Sassafras was made into tea ahead of time, then heated for sparge water.
3.
Other herbs were added in muslin bags at 20 minutes before the end of the boil.
4.
The shagbark hickory syrup was a commercial product, made from boiling the bark rather than tapping the tree. I used it in lieu of any other bottling sugar (which is why this was only a three-gallon batch).
