well I was reading a thread on an "8 dollar bush beer" and one of the ingredients calls for tea and I was thinking why not make some tea beer myself. I am heading to the grocery store today as well as my local brew shop to pick up the ingredients so let me know what you guys think about it.
for 5 gallons of wort:
24 sun tea or dark tea bags
.75 oz of maybe centennial,simcoe, cascade or nugget hops
2lbs of brown sugar
? oz of rose hips
I can of wheat, malt extract
oh yes and and ale yeast whatever is avalible at my local brewshop
boil 2 1/2 gallons of water down to 1 1/4. first add the hops, rose hips and sugar for bittering and boil for ten minutes then the tea so you don't destroy flavor of the tea and boil for another for another 15 minutes. Then add to the Primary with 2.75 Gallons of water and let it ride.
Please comment and don't hesitate to criticize CONSTRUCTIVELY!
