May 7, 2013 at 15:29 comment added Denny Conn @Frustrated - If you think of hops as a flavoring, you're correct. If you think of them as bittering/preservative, then pine likely would not do the same thing.

May 6, 2013 at 17:48 comment added GHP As someone who's been covered in sticky pine sap many times, I winced when I read this title. I suspect Denny is correct in that pine would make the beer taste like turpentine, or perhaps like something gawd-awful from your great-grandma's medicine cabinet.
May 6, 2013 at 17:20 comment added FrustratedWithFormsDesigner @DennyConn: So it's only a "hops alternative" in the context of providing a different flavour than hops?
May 6, 2013 at 16:42 comment added Denny Conn Not in the least.
May 6, 2013 at 15:42 comment added FrustratedWithFormsDesigner So will pine/spruce produce a flavour that is similar to hops?

May 6, 2013 at 15:40 comment added Paolo In my knowledge is for taste, C. Papazian reports two or three recipes in his Complete Joy, where spruce is used alongside with hops (for example in a porter where rather unconventional ingredients like chili, ginger, chocolate are used)
May 6, 2013 at 15:21 comment added FrustratedWithFormsDesigner You've tagged this as "hops-alternative". How are pine/spruce alternatives to hops? I'm guessing it's for preservative qualities, rather than taste, but I'm not sure. Could you clarify?
