Before you chop down that spruce tree out back so you can use it in your next brew, you might want to listen to our guest this episode, Randy Schnose from Spruce On Tap. Randy gives us the what for's and why not's of using spruce tips in our brews, JD has a hair-brained idea for one of his port mead projects, yes...it includes bourbon, we go around the table and find out what's cookin', and a few Facebook friends get some answers.
