1/26 – House OG

We use 21 grams of Tie Kwan Yin Oolong tea, steeped in 1/2 gallon of distilled water for 30 minutes.  After cooling to room temperature we added 2 additional cups of water,  1 1/4 cup of starter buch,  and 1 cup of sugar.  As always when we harvest our House OG we will be adding an additional 1 tsp of sugar when bottling for the 2nd fermentation. We’re now doing nine day 1st and 2nd fermentations.

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 add 2 additional cups of water, 2 cups of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY. Our fermentation time this time of year is nine days.
We harvested this on 2/4 and made 4 bottles of Grape Ape (1/3 cup concord grape juice and 1/2 tbsp sugar) and 6 bottles of Cherry Vanilla (1/3 cup cherry juice, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tbsp sugar). We’ll let this cook at least 5 days in the bottle for some extra snap.
