Grape Ape

This is our third batch using the Darjeeling from Vahdam Teas however this may be our last Darjeeling for awhile. I believe after this we’ll move to pure Oolong. We used the usual recipe of 28 grams of tea with 11 cups of water and a cup of sugar steeped for 4 minutes.

We harvested this on 12/7 for a nine day second fermentation. This is our last batch from our heater issues so we’ll probably be going back to seven days although the winter season may change that. It tasted pretty vinegary. We added 1/2 tbsp of sugar and 1/4 cup of concord grape juice.
