Hey, I am just skimming through and see that you are saying that the ponderosa pine is edible, while making beer from the Leland Cypress. These plants are similar looking, but different species completely.

Here are a few more sources that advise that it can be toxic to humans.

Also note that a book on plant toxicology was referenced in the Wikipedia article.

I can’t say whether there would be any effect on you from making a beer from it, but I am concerned that you had said it was fine because the ponderosa pine is edible. I would consult a specialist before drinking any more of this brew.
