Hi folks,
I just want to start off by saying thank you to everyone for HBT such a great resource for new brewers! This place rocks! :rockin:
I brewed up a partial mash version of BierMuncher's Black Pearl Porter to bring to a friend's wedding and I was hoping to get it bottled soon. I have been toying with the idea of adding some chocolate mint tea flavour but I am unsure as to whether I should soak the tea bags in vodka or simply brew a strong pot of tea as per usual for the tea addition.
Reading some of the other threads on here it seems that most people brew their tea additions and use vodka when adding other spices. If I were to go the vodka route, how long should I soak the tea? Would a day or two be enough or should I just stick with brewed tea? Does anyone have any advice?
Cheers!
