Homebrew Spruce Beer Recipe! 

Lol......your face from the dark beer was priceless! Better luck next time. A santé

Nice! Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers!

Your reaction to the second one was sooo funny! Brilliant, thanks!

Great video Billy. it was fun to watch

This should be video of the year..

Such a cool personality!

always fun stuff Billy love your videos

I've not heard of spruce beer before, so I really enjoyed the lesson! Glad at least one batch turned out ok! Cheers!

Nice one Billy from a brewer across the pond

That is bitter beer face to the max!!! Great video! Learn something new watching your videos all the time, Billy!

Merci de partager tes conaissances ;) C'est bon a savoir ! Continue beau travails !

Cheers Bill!

Thanks for another interesting, laugh-out-loud funny video, Billy! You are incredibly good fun to spend video time with, and a great sport!

DWL :))) The dark one certainly shivered your timbers Billy.

Good video Billy thanks

Very good video! We’re learning hydrosols and thought there has to be a pine beer recipe and found you. Thank you! New subscriber.

Once again "Billy beer" ! Thanks

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Blessings...

That was a very interesting and unique beer.

Awesome vid ma man.

Love the No like the beer face. Check the ground where you dumped it out. You may have a decent liquid fertilizer. See if the grass is greener right there. Always a joy.

I am a huge fan of hard cider beer now! But I need to try this.

lol your face was priceless on the 2nd beer!

foflol That was great! I love that you took 2 sips! Great job Billy!

awesome

Your reaction after trying the dark beer - priceless!!!! -Jen

Billy thank you soo much for the great big laugh! I cant remember laughing that hard in a long while! Hahahaha

Billy's Canadian spruce brew! I can see the commercials already!

I could listen to this guy talk all day

Might be good, might also give you a case of the green apple splatters.

*My wife was listening and fell on the floor with the "Tastes like vomit" comment. HYSTERICAL AND THANK YOU. OBTW do you know the AB of the beer--alcohol %?*

Je reviens encore des années plus tard pour voir la face de Billy avec sa biere foncé.. Bière legendaire!

LMAO! The second one seemed to shake you up! Hahaa, great video! Cheers, Marc

Best Video!

I'm very curious to try spruce beer.

Being up in the north country,I,m told ya'all have a maple tree or two,have you tried maple syrup in the beer(or in the spring just used maple sap in stead of water) ?

I do a bit of homebrewing myself...this was interesting. This makes me want to learn about this type of brewing. LOL I have made that face when trying a few beers that went bad!! I wonder if it got a contamination and went bad? Fun Video Billy

Hi Billy. Thanks for the great laugh! Did you use bread yeast also in the sugar only version?Merci mon chum!

Salut Billy !! Est-ce que tu la laisses au réfrigérateur durant les 6 premiers jours ? Genre je pourrais mettre le liquide avec la cassonade et la levure au frigo dans une cruche pendant 6 jours et ensuite j'embouteille ?

mo-lass! lol the french accent is great!

I think I'll stick to Molsons or Red Champagne, for non-alcoholic, beverages. 10 points for trying and for honesty! Thanks for the video and the laugh it created.

Hey Billy! Did you ever get around to trying it out again?!

You should audition for a role in a movie. Very authentic !

What time of the year did you collect the spruce?? And it was Norway spruce?? Thanks

Hey billy, ton vidéo a vraiment piqué ma curiosité et j'ai envie d'essayer à mon tour. Aurais-tu une idée quel pourcentage d'alcool la biere d'epinette contient ?

holy crap! I mostly fall off my chair. Your the best buddy!

BEST THING I GOT OUTA 2020 BRODDER. WOOT

...would love to try Spruce beer! ;)

Is a Norway spruce the same as a blue spruce..?

The vomit flavor in the second molasses batch is from a bacterial infection in the brew. The batch must have been contaminated by some bacteria before the yeast was able to kill it off with the alcohol. Make sure you use a good sanitizing agent like StarSan on all your jars and lids, bottles, spoons, measuring cups, anything that will contact the beer after it's boiled. Good luck on the next batch:-)>

There's a lot of antioxidants in spruce,will keep you healthy this winter.🍺🍺🍺

lmao ! love the video billy

Very funny. Great video.

I had some beer while watching this. cheers!!

Milestone ! I think that's the first time a you tuber ever made something they admitted was bad tasting...lol Save the dark beer for Mike when he visits...lol

I so love you kid.

Glad to see a Real Hoser from Canada..! Eh ..!

Haaaaa ha haaa, very funny video my friend! Thanks a lot for this good idea... Greets from Switzerland

Can I use eastern white pine for this?

try honey and give the beer more time. 8% beer is possible before the alcohol level kills the yeast. great vid billy!

Salut Billy. Toujours intéressants tes vidéos. Quand j'étais jeune ( dans les années 60-70) on vendait de la bière d'épinettes mais c'était de la liqueur et non de la bière. C'était pas pire , mais pas très populaire.Je ne sais pas si ça existe encore. Pour ce qui est de la " root beer " encore là , ce n'est pas de la bière mais bien de la liqueur. Ce fut inventé par A&W je pense . Ça aussi c'est buvable mais pas très populaire non plus. Est-ce que tes 2 recettes du vidéo étaient alcoolisées ou bien des liqueurs seulement ?

You crack me up.

Good stuff, Billy! I'd say this would work nicely with Cedar and Pine too!

Hello, how much alcohol do you think is in it?

Yo you are a ledgend

Lol! Billy, try a real beer yeast or better yet, champagne yeast and use 100% malt extract instead of sugar; much improves the taste! Happy beer making!

Lmao that was great Billy

HahahahA! Cheers Billy!

If you think it tastes like vomit then it makes me think you had some sort of contamination in that particular bottle to get fermentation with something other than yeast. Possibly lactobacillus if it tasted sour.

Thanks Billy! Yup Spruce beer! I've made Blue Spruce Beer! I used honey and yeast! Knock me on my butt! LOL! Thanks again Billy!

Think I will give it a try without the molasses. I like the videos.

Make some more vidieo of marking home brew it was interesting.

You basically made swamp water prison hooch! Your reaction was hilarious!

Hey, Billy... Oh my, your too much! This is a great endeavour, very interesting... Really enjoyed. Hope your summer going very well up there in God's Own Country... ~D.S.

hahaha..it almost tastes like vomit...I laughed out loud with that one and your expression was priceless!!!! :-)

Vraiment trop drôle 👍

oh Billy thoses faces :) sorry it was so bad but that was funny

I had no idea you could make beer out of pine trees, you Canadians are nuts. The look on your face when drinking the beer with molasses, that got me laughing!!

Baswell! 😂

Whhhheeeeeewwwwwww Least 1 turned out ok mmm Mmm ATB Terry God Bless

Salut Billy, Toi qui a la chance d'habiter au pays des bleuets, tu aurais pu en rajouté (écrasés) pendant la fermentation primaire, ça aurait pu arômatiquement être sympa, en plus du sucre naturel contenu. :) La mélasse, à retenter, mais pas autant peut-être... Pour la fermentation en bouteille, on compte 4 à 6gr de sucre par litre, il faut faire attention, plus que ça pourrait faire exploser tes bocaux (surplus de pression). La levure boulangère à tendance à avoir un goût très prononcé, j'ai essayé l'hydromel et d'autres bière pour les faire simples, c'est un goût récurant et trop présent. En été, il y a des levures naturelles dans l'air, c'est comme ça que les Belges font le Lambic (fermentation spontanée), sinon il existe une foule de levure qui pourrait être plus neutre pour ce type d'expérience. Tu pourrais même la récupérer au fond d'une bouteille de bière artisanale "sur lie" et la cultiver... :) Merci pour ta vidéo, elle est intéressante ! :)

😂😂😂. I'll try the first one 😉

¾ tasse de sucre. 5 centimètres de racine de gingembre pelée et râpée. 42 grammes d'aiguilles d'épinette. ½ tasse d'eau. 1 c. à café de levure. 2 c. à café de jus de citron. 7 tasses d'eau. used stainless for cooking

The molasses beer was dark. If you used black strap molasses that would be the fault of that brew

Billy! Your face! LOL....Stick with the sugar recipe :)

a mourire de rire ton accent anglais :D

I much prefer Leffe or Kronebourg.......👍😊

Now I see why I quit drinking . Thanks for the reminder Brian 77

Scottish Pine Beer is even better.

Oh and we use a non-reactive kettle like stainless steel!

I make home made wine all the time,and enjoy it as a hobby.(plus,the benefits of always having booze around doesn't hurt). But I'm sorry. Spruce beer seems to me like it would taste like a mirror air freshener flavored koolaid! LOL

Ha Ha Ha !

Ça serait en québécois, ça serait plus simple pour l'interprète en plus.

Oh, so half of the production is ruined? Too bad, but you never know until your try. Cheers Billy!

use honey not molasses

A+ buddy. I'll subscribe. $30 on amazon will get you some decent sterilization equipment. quelque chose à réfléchir

hahah "tastes like vomit..." great!!!!!!!!!:D

Go Billy Rioux now I know the proper pronunciation of Molasses, seriously I always say "Molassis" I didnt know it was Mollass-eh Maybe that's where Eh came from...? I also Like the French accent but yous is fake LOL just kidding.

not try too make corn whiskey.

I would chug the vomit beer. Dumping it is alcohol abuse.
