Nettle Beer

[The Poot]

A wet day, so no beeing and no gardening, so time to get something nice (I hope) out of stinging nettles. Beer.
1 kg of nettle tops to 5 litres of water......you need big pans. Attached are pics of the crop being boiled and the ensuing must.

Hmmm. I've never tried making nettle beer. No shortage of nettles here though. Perhaps it's time...

I was given a glass or 2 of nettle beer about 30 years ago, I loved it. very refreshing on a summers day.
