Wild plant expert Pascal Baudar strays further afield from the usual brewing ingredients such as barley, hops, and yeast to explore the possibilities in the reader’s backyard. Baudar explains basic rustic brewing techniques and their underlying philosophies for making fermented sodas, herbal beers, meads, grape-free “country wines,” and traditional drinks like kvass. The text offers basic recipes with suggestions on different combinations of herbs for flavor, encouraging the reader to explore their own tastes and terroir in their brewing. The Wildcrafting Brewer allows herbalists, foragers, and wild food fans to take the beauty of nature and brew it into homemade natural drinks.
This excerpt is adapted from Pascal Baudar’s book The Wildcrafting Brewer: Creating Unique Drinks and Boozy Concoctions from Nature’s Ingredients (Chelsea Green, ©2018) and is reprinted with permission from the publisher.
