kaips1; did you add the tea after or before fermentation? Would you recommend just adding it all after fermentation (that is my current plan)?
I added the cold steep in secondary and then added a recharge from the same leaves at bottling

Two Brothers in Warrenville, IL has a Green Tea IPA. It's delicious. It's called Laughing Panda.
Anyone have any more information on this beer? I'd think the hop/tea flavor balance would be hard to nail in an IPA.
Hey everyone -
I posted about two years back about doing a green-tea beer using a warm wort and vodka-infusion and thought I'd post an update:
If I were to do it again, I think I would double the amount of green-tea, adding half (1.5oz) to the warm (180f) wort, and half (1.5 oz) to a warm (180f) water/DME mixture to make a green-tea-concentrate to be used for bottle/keg fermenting. I think that adding the extra 'kick' of green tea after primary fermentation was over would help bring out the flavour of the tea much more than it did when I used the vodka influsion.
Happy Hopping,

Love the Midori addition. I'm gonna combine my 4oz green tea-vodka tincture with 4oz of Midori, and add it after first fermentation. Can wait to taste it!!How about soaking/infusing some green tea in Midori for about 2 weeks. Maybe 2-4 ounces of green tea leaves in something like 16 oz. Midori, then pour the whole thing into secondary. I've never done this, just a thought. The Midori would make a nice honeydew green tea addition to a light beer.
Damn, now I wanna make green tea beer
