That is my recipe 1 cup of sugar per gallon. And, loose black tea. I did exactly measure it out.

The 2 I've done so far have been with ~30g loose black tea per gallon and 1 cup sugar per gallon. Next batch I will finally start experimenting with fruit additions

I presume you mean 12 grams of loose tea?
Otherwise, this is my recipe too. I boil 4 c. of water, steep the tea. Add the sugar to dissolve, pour into my gallon jar, top with cold filtered water. Once the temp is in the right range, add the SCOBY and 1 c. starter tea.
I do keep some litmus paper around and check the PH. If it's too high, add 1 Tbsp. white vinegar.
