Gruit

[tubthumper]

ok I am now going to try some gurit beers
does anyone know where I can get the herbs for this
I dont mind growing them myself but how to get bog mertal to grow in my garden is gonna be a push so may have to flood a bit of the allotment
yarrow is easy to find ,but the wild rosmary will be the hardest to find
so anyone know a supplier that carries gruit mixes or at least the herbs.

You could try HERE it's the only place I've found ground ivy for sale :thumb:

Crikey, I'm down that road all the time and I've never noticed the place. They've got a few things I'm after.

Cheers TS!

thanks tubby
now I ordered the dried herbs and also some seeds and plug plant

but the wild rosemary is the one I just cannot find either seed cutting plug or even dried

will look up something else to use

as mugwort and yarrow is all I have ordered so far

but might get some wormwood but thats for a different brew entirely

Is this from the book you bought TT, sounds interesting

Found wild rosemary HERE, under marsh tea, £9 a plant though

 

[tubthumper]

yes was from sacred and healing beers

clicky to book

well worth it just get a seconhand copy form one of the used sellers
it is worth the new price though as very informative and esspecially the Psychotropic and highly intoxicating beers chapter
and thanks for the links guys
think £9 a plant will be worth it when you read what it does and can cut it thousands of times for the quantitiy needed so years and years of use out of it

just a quick aside why are you buying ground ivy it grows nearly everywhere
when i next spot some I am goning to pick a carrier bags worth of it and brew with it
