Sassafras wine

[ericonthehill]

But I'll bet it was the root bark. I would buy from Frontier herbs if it were me. Sterling rep, old company, knows their stuff. Herbalists buy from them. But even they offer just the root bark, not the whole root.

Every winemaker should browse this site, I think...lots of stuff we can use here...

I had thought, oh boy oh boy, we got lots of sassafras growing here! But my wife would kill me if I uprooted them. She has a bachelor's degree in clincal herbalism, you see...

No it's the root. I like to use the roots that are dug up in the spring, but here it's a little late. A couple of bigger roots were included, but most were nice and small and rich. I'm sure there are plenty that like to send you bark though.
