Which is not Verdun Connections unfortunately, but the MSN home page.
What growing up in the great city of Verdun has blessed me with, is
patience, which has come greatly appreciated in the cyber age of
computers.
Have a wonderful day,

The Recipe for Spruce Beer
Thought you might be interested................
5 gal. of pure waterBoil about one gallon of water for at least 30 minutes, then steep the needles or tips for about half an hour. Drain out the needles and add 3-6 lbs. of unsulphured molasses to the spruce-flavo
3-6 lbs of unsulphured molasses
1 pkg. of yeast
1 qt. Sitka or white spruce needles or tips
red water, depending on taste. (Optional: Adding 3 lbs. of Blue Ribbon hop-flavored malt at this point will improve the taste but is not part of the original recipe.) Add water to make 5 gallons. Cool the mixture to about 70째 F. and add yeast. Keep the mixture at about 70째 for several days, then move it to a cooler spot (about 50째) until fermentation stops. The process will take 10-14 days, sometimes longer. When fermentation ceases, the beer is ready to bottle or drink, but will improve if it is allowed to age in the bottle.
NOTE: The alcohol content varies between 6 and 9 percent, depending on the amount of molasses.

Deleting Messages???
Why would anybody want to delete
their messages and responses. It leaves gaps in the history
for anybody new to the group or anybody just reading and catching up on what members have been discussing. Is it just me or does anybody else find it leaves gaps.And it doesn't feel right that you respond to a subject and the person who wrote it deletes it and leaves you believing that they have no interest in that subject.
