11/21 Pomegranate and Cherry Vanilla

We are now brewing 35 grams of Tie Kwan Yin Oolong in a gallon of distilled water. After steeping 30 minutes we transfer it to our big jar with 1 2/3 cups of sugar. After letting it cool we’ll add 2 cups of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY.
We harvested this on 11/29 and did 5 bottles of pomegranate (1/3 cup pomegranate juice, 1/2 tbsp sugar) and 4 bottles of cherry vanilla (1/3 cup cherry juice, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tbsp sugar). We’ll try this after 5 days.

8/23 LO Poi Dog #11-16 Grape Ape

Grape Ape

Poi Dog is our house blend of English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Oolong, green and white teas (1 bag each).

We flavored this batch on 8/31 with 1/4 cup Concord Grape juice (365 Organic) and 1 tbsp sugar. The buch was pretty strong so I’m hoping it won’t be too sweet. Will move a bottle a day starting on day 3 to figure out the second fermentation period for this new recipe.
