Homebrewer's Garden

I’ve been reading through “The Homebrewer’s Garden” (Joe and Dennis Fisher).

I’m most interested in the Horehound and Heather ales. Has anybody brewed with these ingredients before? I’m going to brew the spruce ale when those tips come in. Everything I’ve read points to hit and miss results with spruce.

Has anybody brewed any of the recipes from this book? How have they turned out?

I haven’t, but this guy http://microbebrewer.blogspot.com/ has a Heather Ale that looks interesting.
