We’re reverting back to an older method of a single 20 minute steep of 21 grams of tea, stirring after 5 minutes and adding cold water. For batch A we used 6 cups of water for steeping and for batch B we used 8 cups. Batch B was significantly stronger so it will be interesting to compare the two brews. We’ll go with brewing 8 cups from now on and play with steep time and temperature.
We harvested this on 2/28 after 8 days of fermentation. It tasted fairly strong and not very sweet. We flavored batch A with 1/2 tbsp of sugar and will check it in 5 days. We flavored batch B with 1/3 cup of apple juice, cinnamon and sugar mixture at a ration of 6:1 (2 cups apple juice, 3 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon for 5 bottles). We’ll check it in 2 days.
