Nettle Beer

If you are an experienced beer maker, this recipe might be easy to follow. If you have never made beer before - I would suggest doing some research first. Here's a link to one person's personal experience with Nettle beer. Enjoy!

Quantities of the young fresh tops are boiled in a gallon of water, with the juice of two lemons, a teaspoonful of crushed ginger and 1 Lb. of brown sugar. Fresh yeast is floated on toast in the liquor, when cold, to ferment it, and when it is bottled the result is a specially wholesome sort of ginger beer.
