Birch Sap Beer - Is it worth the effort?

[Bartooon]

A quick test today shows that the birch sap down here is starting to flow and I fancy having a go at making birch sap beer. I've gathered all the kit - recipe, empty pop bottles, gaffer tape, plastic tubing, fermenting bucket, drill bit etc etc, but now I've got to wondering whether it is all going to be worth the effort.

Has anybody made it and, if so, did you up with a decent beer?

I think the answer would be it depends how it turns out. I've been making wine for most of my life started by helping my dad when I was old enough to hold the syphon tube steady in the bottom of the bucket, made a few kegs of beer in that time as well from all sorts of things from kits to nettles, oak leaves even tried hemp beer when I was living with friends in Austria. some brews have been a resounding success while others following the same recipe have been a waste of ingredients. the only brew I have tasted from birch sap was finished a bit dry for my taste but others enjoyed it

I don't know I honestly can't remember.

Beer is always worth the effort.

I have never made the beer - Birch Sap Wine is well worth the effort though ... and I make it every year
This year I am aiming to make at least 3 gallons!
