So this one is a bit different. There is no true boil here, and I'm substituting juniper berries for juniper branches. While there are lots of juniper bushes/trees in the PNW, I don't want to grab the wrong one and poison myself.
Being a Sahti, there are no hop additions. The beer is also drank right after fermentation. I didnt put in a yeast because this recipe calls for BAKERS YEAST - I will be using Fleischman's Bread Yeast. You could also use Kveik Yeast
