I'm pretty sure i saw a ton of this stuff while out hunting bt payed little attention.
How do you use it and in what quantity?

I believe its used in McChouffe. No idea of the quantity but I'd be willing to experiment.

You can use it to bitter a beer, it was used in that manner before hops.

Bog_myrtle (Laura) on Beoir did it a few times from what I remember.
