10/29 House OG

We are now using 21 grams of tea, steeped for 30 minutes. We used 1 1/4 cup of starter buch, 10 cups of water 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 another week on the shelf.

10/29 – Raspberry

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.

10/22 House OG

We are now using 21 grams of tea, steeped for 30 minutes. We’re also thinking of extending the steep period to make it a little stronger.  We used 1 1/4 cup of starter buch, 10 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar.

10/22 – 1/2 Cherry Vanilla, 1/2 Grape Ape

We continued to use 35 grams of tea which we are thinking about bumping up. The big batch tasted a little flat and sweet, possibly due to the cooler temperatures. We used 17 1/2 cups of water , steeping the tea in 1 gallon of water at 200 degrees. We may let this batch go eight days.

We flavored half of this batch with 1/3 cup of Concord Grape Juice and the other half with 1/3 cup of Cherry Juice along with the usual 1/2 tbsp of sugar.

10/15 House OG

For our small batch we are now using 21 grams of tea steeped in 1/2 gallon of water for 30 minutes. We transfer to a jar with 1 cup of sugar and let cool for a few hours. We then add 2 cups of cold water, 1 1/4 cup of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY. We’ll flavor it with 1 tsp of sugar for our usual small batch of House OG.

10/15 Ginger Brew

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 flavored this batch with fresh ginger. The brown bottles have 1 tsp of ginger while the clear bottles have 1/2 tbsp. Both have 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
