Im getting ready to make my hard tea and im using champagne yeast and aiming for 16-18 percent. I figured if i use:
30 extra strong tetley's tea bags.
2.5 pounds of sugar to start
1 tsp of yeast nutrient
1tsp of pectic enzyme
juice of two lemons and zest of two lemons.
once fermentation ends i was thinking of backsweetening to make the beverage sweeter (obviously) and perhaps adding more lemon juice/flavouring.
From past posts on the forum i understand the tea flavour is almost non existent, so do you think for a 1 gallon batch 30 extra strong bags will produce enough taste of tea? im counting on tea fermenters for help here. thanks.
