For this batch we did the same as last week, two 30 minute steeps with 21 grams of tea and 8 cups of water each, followed by an additional 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 2/3 cup of sugar and 2 cups of starter buch. So a few weeks ago we went a lot stronger with the tea and I think we overdid it a bit so we’re gonna scale back to somewhere in-between. The big batch is 1 2/3 x the regular batch. If we use 2 oz of tea that would be 35 g of tea for the big batch and 21 g for the small. We’re also rethinking the two steeps for the big batch. Next week we’ll do one steep of a gallon of water. We’ll also start buying gallons of distilled water.

We flavored this batch with 1/3 cup of non-pasteurized OJ from New Leaf and 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
