Birch tree wine. The harvesting period is short. It is a watery substance slightly sweet with a silky taste. Birch sap wine has been made for thousands of years and it is a shame to let this little english tradition die out.
How to tap a birch tree one never stops learning. If nothing comes out when you are half way in the tree is dry. Unlike a lot of wines birch sap wine requires a great deal of phaffing about finding the trees and collecting the sap.
Fermented with lemon and raisins it makes a lovely wine. Drill a slightly upward slanting 5cm deep hole into your chosen tree at waist height. It is also used to make excellent wines.
I found a video on how to tap a birch tree. 1 gallon demijohn length of syphon tube drill and bit use a wood bit just big enough to make a hole that will hold the syphon tube only tap birch trees in the first 2 weeks of march. The ambrosial birch sap need not be just a taste of early spring as it can be preserved as a wine.
Never attempt to tap a birch tree less than 9 inches in diameter. About two weeks so if you want to do this you will need to keep a close watch on nature. Drill a hole into the tree at a 30 degree angle facing downwards.
4 litres of birch sap as fresh as possible see the feature on page 36 of february s the simple things for how to tap a birch tree 1kg sugar 200g raisins juice of 2 lemons 5g wine yeast 1 sachet you will need. Stop drilling hammer in a plug and try another. Any birch tree can be tapped but ensure you tap an older tree of at least 25 30cm in diameter.
Birch sap is harvested at the end of winter by the end of february early march when the first buds start to swell. Any smaller and you risk damaging the tree before it has had a chance to grow. I always think that a wine that you need to work for is treasured above those simpler wines which you knock.
