We’re now using 25 grams of tea for our small batch with about 10.5 cups of water, 1 1/4 cup of starter buch and 1 cup of sugar. This week we’re increasing the steep time from 20 to 30 minutes.
We harvested this on 10/1. It was strong due to the amount of tea we’ve been using lately. We flavored it with 1/2 tbsp of sugar for our usual small batch of House OG
Our current recipe for the big batch is two 30 minute steeps (our latest tweak from 20 minutes) with 21 grams of tea and 8 cups of water each, followed by an additional 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 2/3 cup of sugar. We add 2 cups of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY. We’ll harvest next Sunday.
We harvested this on 10/1 and made 6 bottles of fresh watermelon and 5 bottles of Santa Cruz Grape. We used 1/2 cup of both per bottle, more than our usual amount. We figured the harvest was so strong due to the high amount of tea that it needed some additional flavoring. We used 1/2 tbsp of sugar.

We harvested this on 9/24 and flavored it with 1 tsp of sugar. It tasted great and should be even better after a 1 week 2nd fermentation.

We harvested this on 9/24 and flavored it with fresh strawberries from Rindon and Becky. The harvested buch tasted great. We added 1/2 tbsp of sugar. This batch should be a good one!

We harvested this on 9/17 and did 3 bottles of Tangerine with a full tbsp of sugar, 2 mixed berry with 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 plain with 1/2 tbsp of sugar. These are capped with older caps to differentiate the bottles from the big batch. We wanted to experiment by doing the same flavors with both batches and using more sugar for the small one, especially since it tasted even stronger than the big batch. We’ll let these go 3-5 days on the shelf.
