** Boil the beans for 1 hour or until soft before using and allow to cool for step 2. Use the cooled bean water for step 3 and 4, and extra cold water if necessary.
*** For Birch sap wine you should not add any additional water. In step 3 you should bring 1L Birch sap to 70ºC and use that to dissolve the sugar. At step 6 you should add 3.5L of Birch sap instead of water.
