As I recall, the last time I brewed this it was a handfull of spruce tips at 30 minutes into the 1.5 hour boil, then the same at 60, then another handfull at 15. I believe that it is the late additions that are most important.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with yours...and let us know if you brew this with the real tips...<BR/><BR/>...DarrellDarrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355369680891392330noreply@blogger.com
