Has anyone ever used Teamaker Hops before in home-brewing?
I just put a 4-Gallon batch of a Cream Ale using small amounts of Centennial and Teamaker @ 60 minutes, small amount of Teamaker @ 30 minutes and another amount of Teamaker @ 10 minutes. All dried whole leaf hops.
I know 4 gallons is an off size, 5 & 3 being more of the standard, well, I’m shooting for a higher ABV on this one!
Today makes Day 3 of 14 of Fermentation
It’s now a waiting game to see if my calculations were close. It’s also my first time brewing a Cream Ale, that’s just not the style I’m into, but again with the research, my styles were limited if using Teamaker Hops.
I started by steeping 3 gallons of hop-tea for 10 minutes just to check the intensity of flavor and aroma of the Teamaker Hops I have and calculate how much to use per gallon of water.
Nothing went to waste! After that process I had several gallons of Teamaker Tea with it’s natural preservative and antioxidants!
Half of that I also steeped with some Black-Tea, something I read about that’s becoming quite popular, and expensive in the Tea Community!
Both Teas were really good,
